I'm planing a new FreeBSD setup next week. The system will be FreeBSD 13 release and has a single 500 GB pci ssd.
Ram size is 16 GB. I'm planing to go with UFS. How much swap space you recommend. I know in the Unix world there
is the saying just double of your ram. Is this old rule still valid. Does a modern Unix in these days still need so much swap
or is something like matching the installed ram is enough. This setup will just be a desktop system, no server.
Hibernating will most likely not work on the desktop so no swap needed for that. I'm planing for sleep S3 instead of S4.
I know most people here in the forum swear on ZFS but I like to keep it simple for a desktop system and like to go with UFS.
Thanks for some answers!
