Comment on Why is my server using all my Swap but I have RAM to spare?
N0x0n@lemmy.ml 3 weeks agoI though that the recommended swap partition was to double until 16 GB? So at 32GB of ram use 32GB of swap?

You should just maintain awareness of how much you’re using. I think 32gb ram + 32gb swap is ridiculous, frankly. Fedora by default sets zram up to 8gb, with no other swap space configured. Works very well that way.
Personally I’d also probably not ever set up more than 16gb of swap space. If I’m somehow hitting that limit it’s because I actually just need to buy more RAM.
