Someone give @raindog308 a raise!
ECC is done in hardware, no convoluted IO path.
Swap is used in the case where all RAM is used. Turning it off means crashing, which is fucking silly for a server. ECC is for memory error correction, not disk. It makes no difference to swap.
So I have no idea what value that statement has. Turning off swap on servers has very small use cases for which knowledgeable admin would manage.
Clueless and so exteremely confident in the take. That’s @TimboJones for y’all.
This was exactly the point. You’re so eager to disagree you forget to think.
In that case I’d recommend you to keep swap on.
Congrats @raindog308 and great article!
That is great news, awesome!
I'm confidently stating I don't understand the point made and you did nothing to illuminate why turning off ECC is any way is beneficial for swap. I disagreed IO was complex and ECC is done in hardware.
Wtf was your point replying if not to clarify what the benefits are?
