I strongly disagree about your "fallacy" point. Many Solaris administrators undersize their swap misunderstanding the crash dump requirements.

Please don't insist misleading people. Most Solaris installations, I bet more than 99.9%, use the swap partition as their crash dump storage area.
I'm glad you finally get it. I try hard to explain but failed to convinced you ...
Yes, you continue to bring up a point which is a red-herring - you still, using your own words "do not get it".

You take one of a couple of alternatives, because you seem to love swap, for some reason, which is a legacy leftover from the days of expensive memory; and then you try to justify your position by insisting to dump in swap.

You continue to stand on that position, and continue to toss out unconvincing arguments to justify a position which is not accurate.

This is called "fallacy" and in this case, you create a red-herring fallacy to distract from the orginal point, attempting to prove you are correct because you scored a point on the red-herring, which is really not germane to the discussion.

Believe me. You do not need swap in most modern systems. Swap slows you down - why do it with memory is cheap. You don't need to dump in swap either.

reborg's orginal statement on this was not misleading; and that was the only reason I jumped into this thread.
