linux关于swap分区的划分规则(参考RHEL网站的)

前一段在RHEL4U4上安装Oracle10.2出现问题,问了好多人,还是51cto的高手给我指点多,有些大侠告诉说是因为我的swap分区过大导致,所以,我看了一些关于swap的东西,做一点总结和试验,这里留个记录。
(以下是Redhat官方抄的)
Swap should equal 2x physical RAM for up to 2 GB of physical RAM, and then 1x physical RAM for any amount above 2 GB, but never less than 32 MB.

Using this formula, a system with 2 GB of physical RAM would have 4 GB of swap, while one with 3 GB of physical RAM would have 5 GB of swap. Creating a large swap space partition can be especially helpful if you plan to upgrade your RAM at a later time.

Tip
  If your partitioning scheme requires a swap partition that is larger than 2 GB, you should create an additional swap partition. For example, if you need 4 GB of swap, you should create two 2 GB swap partitions. If you have 4 GB of RAM, you should create three 2 GB swap partitions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux supports up to 32 swap files.


For systems with really large amounts of RAM (more than 32 GB) you can likely get away with a smaller swap partition (around 1x, or less, of physical RAM).

大概的意思是:
当物理内存小于2G时,swap大小为物理内存的2倍。超过2G的部分,swap大小跟物理内存相等。

也即是,得到如下公式:

x<= 2G的部分, y=2x

x>2G   的部分,  y=x

利用这个公式,2G物理内存需要4G swap,而3G物理内存则需要5G swap。如果你打算添加内存的话,创建一个大些的swap区是很有帮助的。

举个例子:如果按照分区计划,你的swap区超过2G,那么应该创建另外的swap分区。比如,你需要4G的swap的分区,应该创建2个2G的swap分区。

如果有4G的物理内存,就要6G的swap(根据公式:
 2x2GB=4G    1x2GB=2G   上述2个之和。一共6G)
每个swap分区2G。则应该创建3个2G的swap分区。

Redhat EL支持多达32个swap文件。
对于超过32G物理内存的,使用小于等于物理内存容量的swap区会更好。
