[Gluster-users] Swap space requirements

[Cedric Lemarchand]

Hum ... I would say that ram is really expensive right now ! 
In response to the OP, an old rule was to provision double ram as swap, actually you could put the half, or nothing.  
From my point of view, swap only helps in the way it retards OOM killer process and as a sort of warning role because it slows a lot the whole OS. 

Cheers
