[WBEL-users] swap size question

[M. Hakan Aksu]

Hi all-
I have a system with 16 Gigs of RAM, what is the swap size would you recommend?
I know the old rule of thumbs that says "you need twice the size of
RAM", that may be true if you have 256MB of RAM but I am not sure if
that is still necessary with systems that has huge amounts of RAM. I
am planning to start with a 4Gigs swap partition and grow it if
necessary. This server will mainly run oracle and weblogic.
I would appreciate you comments.

Have a nice holiday season and a happy new year!
cheers,
