If you want to provide for more swap space now, find your case below and take
the corresponding action; however, remember that it is difficult to decrease the
amount of swap space if you set it up in this way:
AXE System
Typical
Workstation
For a standalone AXE system on which you plan to run a few
applications, the default value is adequate. Enter
0.
For a workstation on which you plan to run, for exaInple, the
XII Window System and subsystems such as The SoftPC,
networking, and BASIC-UX, the default value is adequate.
Enter
0.
If you plan to run large, complex applications, examine the
documentation for the applications, and enter a swap space
value that will accommodate the applications.
Cluster Server
A cluster server needs a disk that provides approximately
300 Mbytes of file system space. And, depending on the
applications you decide to run, you could need 20 Mbytes
(40,000 512-byte blocks) of swap space for each cnode
installed on the system (the XII Window System, for
example, needs this much swap space). Remember that as
you increase swap space, you decrease file system space.
Entering
0
moves you to Step 8; entering
@
gives you another chance to
specify the swap space.
