Hi,

I have 64Go RAM space on my system (HP Proliant DL360P G8), and Swap space by défault Proxmox is 8Go.

I read here that:

For more modern systems (>1GB), your swap space should be:
  • at a minimum be equal to your physical memory (RAM) size "if you use hibernation"

  • otherwise you need a minimum of round(sqrt(RAM)) and a maximum of twice the amount of RAM.
    (The only downside to having more swap space than you will actually use, is the disk space you will be reserving for it)

Do you know what "round(sqrt(RAM))" is. :)

Best regards,
Christophe.

Hey,

I guess round is clear and sqrt is the square root, in your case sqrt(64) would be 8.
