<div>Is swap size still as relevant as it was a
decade ago? On a host with 20G RAM, I'd imagine
the likelihood of hitting swap being much lower.
Having a couple of G available just in case seems
like a good idea, but I'm unsure if the old (Total
RAM * 2)=swap equation still rings true. <br>

<div>According to this article: <a

RedHat basically says that for CentOS server 7, a
minimum of 4G is recommended. The caveat to this
is that if your system needs to
hibernate/suspend-to-disk, in which case you'll
want 1.5-2x RAM as swap in order to write in-use
memory to disk.</div>
