To install Oracle Database 10g, I need to increase the swap memory to 1004 MB.
Tangential aside: Does anyone have an informed opinion on whether the "swap should be double RAM" rule still makes sense?
The original rule (still valid, AFAIC) was:
"swap should be NO MORE than the double RAM"
Well, on old unix systems (Solaris, AIX), if you didn't have swap at least the double of RAM you can't use all your RAM.
But, back then 64Mb RAM was a lot of RAM.
Can't use all RAM ? Are you sure about that ?
I clearly remember (Linxu and AIX on this one) that if you had more than double, you would not use all your SWAP. RAM is always accessible ...
