SWAP?

Hi guys!
What is best SWAP file size for 2 GB of ram?

  • Depends on your usage, but if your application needs more than 2GB of RAM, just get a larger server, or else you risk getting your VPS suspended for abusive disk I/O if you're using a LowEndHost...

    I would go for 2GB of swap.

  • You're not going to find on definitive answer on this. It entirely depends in what you're doing with that box. Sometimes I swap my boxes to 25% of the RAM and the disk I/O kills it, othertimes 200% and it's fine.

  • Don't go overboard on swap memory, it's only required when your system is out of actual RAM.
