Full Discussion: How much Swap is too much?
Operating Systems HP-UX How much Swap is too much? Post 302296164 by Perderabo on Tuesday 10th of March 2009 02:15:19 PM

The old rule used to be 3 x memory and we have to get people to stop following that. The old rule was conceived when 64 Megs was a lot of memory and kernels allocated memory differently.

You're currently at 5.25 x memory. That's the highest ratio that I have ever seen.

Edit: Or did you make a typo? 48 GB of swap would be the old rule. You must have switched the digits!

Apache2::SiteControl::GrantAllRule(3pm) 		User Contributed Perl Documentation		   Apache2::SiteControl::GrantAllRule(3pm)

NAME
Apache2::SiteControl::GrantAllRule - A rule that grants permission to do everything. SYNOPSIS
In your instance of a ManagerFactory: use Apache2::SiteControl::GrantAllRule; ... sub getPermissionManager { ... $manager->addRule(new Apache2::SiteControl::GrantAllRule); ... return $manager; } DESCRIPTION
Apache2::SiteControl::GrantAllRule is a pre-built rule that grants access for all permission requests. This rule can be used to help implement a system that has a default policy of allowing access, and to which you add rules that deny access for specific cases. Note that the loose type checking of Perl makes this inherently dangerous, since a typo is likely to fail to deny access. It is recommended that you take the opposite approach with your rules, since a typo will err on the side of denying access. The former is a security hole, the latter is a bug that people will complain about (so you can fix it). SEE ALSO
