The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SWAP size for Solaris v2.8

Asked by PsiCop in Sun Solaris, Sun JDS

Tags: should, size, solaris, what

The System: Sun SparcServer 20 with 384 MB of  RAM, a 1GB boot drive and an internal 9GB drive (so, total, about 10 GB disk space on board). Installing Solaris v2.8 (10/00) with latest Recommended Patches and Maintenance Update #7.

I am confused as to how much SWAP space to allocate when laying out the disk space. I have seen varying recommendations, including:

=32 MB
=64 MB
=RAM
=RAM + 32MB
=1.5 x RAM
=2 x RAM
=3 x RAM

So, what IS the story? How much SWAP space should I allocate?

The system will be a general-purpose machine, handling E-Mail, shell accounts, and web-service for 10-20 users. Nothing very strenuous, no massive Oracle installs, no heavy scripting. I suspect its hardest task will be dealing with spam, and perhaps the occasional PHP in a user's web-page.

On a tangent, should I allocate a specific amount of  physical disk space to /tmp, in an effort to prevent a system DOS attack where virtual memory is filled by writing to /tmp? Or should I not create a /tmp partition on physical disk and leave it to tmpfs?
