Core dumps on larger systems have become quite large.
Sun, is beginning to ship 146Gig drives. What is the recommended partition size for swap?
I can not get a good answer to this question. The double your RAM recommendation is quite old and outdated.
thanks
Swap should be based on your total memory and/or the recommended for a specific vendor application. But otherwise sun recommends this chart:
Workstation 4 Gbytes of physical memory 1 Gbyte
Mid-range server 8 Gbytes of physical memory 2 Gbytes
High-end server 16 to 128 Gbytes of physical memory 4 Gbytes
