swap byte size?!

[Kevin Krieser]

Just what are you planning to run?

When I had 2 gig of swap for my 1 gig system, I hardly ever went to swap
with my home workload.  

As an experiment, I've gone about a month now running with no swap, and
I haven't had any issues.

hi all...  this is probably a stupid question but anyway..

i want to add a swap file to my system. following the rule of 2 to 1 the
file would need to be 2 gigs because the ram is a gig. but using the dd
command what do i put for bs and count? i was looking around on google
but couldn't exactly find it..

thanks a lot...
