So you'd need 315M more swapspace than under normal circumstances, which I agree is definitely too much. > So what happens if you drop below the 4% threshold?

I don't have the precise calculation here, but I believe the average filesize is calculated to be around 8KB. > -ben -- Jan Harkes <jaharkes_at_cs.cmu.edu>Received on 1998-07-03 18:51:19
