Default swap OMV6

1st Official Post

    Hi, I have found that the default installation of OMV6 has created a partition of only 1GB for swap.


    Is this normal?


    As you can see in the image, the system has 8GB of RAM.

    Would it be advisable to increase the swap amount to 8GB?

    Naa, you should be fine I would think. Been running similar for years.

    ok, thanks for the answer.


    you don't have performance problems when you are close to 100% swap used?

    LOL. If I have performance problems I chalk it up to having an 11yr old Celeron CPU. About the only thing that CPU will not due, is transcode Plex/Emby. If I had a video card, I'm guessing this would be no issue.
