How much size should swap partition should be
Asked by
Karthik. B
I installed ubuntu in my system with 80GB harddisk and 512MB Ram with intel pentium D dual core. I somewhere read that swap size should be double the physical memory. So I reserved for swap partition 1GB. But my problem is that am i wasting that 1GB space for swap. Is that necessary for me to reserve 1GB for swap. I don't work on extensive graphical programs. Even i don't play games that uses extensive graphics. How to shrink the swap size and add it to other partitions like /.
