Hi

Can you please help me to find out about the following two things?

1. If a process terminates, will the kernel reclaim all the physical and swap memory?
2. What is the implication if we allocate the swap space to be less than the server physical memory?

regards

J.L.

1. the physical mem or swap used by the teminated process will be released, generally,it dosn't affect any other processes.

2. generally speaking, swap space should be twice of physical memory,but with today's huge physical memory capacity,you need not such 2 times huge swap when running your os.

but when there is a dump due to an abnormally shutdown,you need a enough space to dump the memory,in this case,the capacity of swap should not less than the physical memory
