I have more swap than I need, arranged thus:
$ grep swap /etc/fstab
/dev/sda3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0
/dev/sdb3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0
/dev/sda7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0
/dev/sdb7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0
...in which sdX3 is 2GB (not GBs, Dale - time doesn't come into it ;-) ) and
sdX7 is 10GB. Thus the big swap areas are only used when necessary to compile
LO, Firefox and pals. I could easily halve sda3 and still have plenty of swap.
No, I don't suspend this box because it's permanently active running four
BOINC jobs at a time.
