Hello, This isn't really a specifically amd64 question but here goes. Do I really need a 4gb swap partition/slice? I have 4gb ram. I am not really conversant with the FreeBSD way. I really want to use swap as little as possible. I hate allocating 4gb when I really hope the swap is used never or little. But I am naive as to FreeBSDs usage of swap. I want the best performance settings for my server. I have the Arima HDAMA board as was stated the sledge.freebsd.org server is. Does it really have 8gb+ swap space? This is my current partition structure. / 256mb /swap 4gb /usr 8gb /home 220gb (the rest) the original label suggestion was: / 256mb /swap 4gb /var 256mb /tmp 256mb /usr 228gb (the rest) Is 8gb enough for /usr for a server? It will have X and dev tools and server apps. Wisdom greatly appreciated. Jimmie Houchin
