Hello fellow users,
I am new to this message board and new to FreeBSD. Recently I've installed FreeBSD 9.0 from the PC-BSD DVD. This helped me to install it on ZFS. The system works fine but there is a strange thing that I've noticed, the swap space is relatively large, 18G as mentioned by the top command
The df -h displays the following:
As I remember, I let the install partition my hard drive, just because I'm a novice and it seemed a good idea at the time. The system has 8GB of RAM, so going by an old rule for swap 2 x EAM, 18G is just about right. I guess that my question is: do I need to modify anything about it? Is it too large?
Please post your thoughts,
Manny thanks in advance
