But then how are you going to hibernate? Oh wait…
Ubuntu Server allocates 128GB of swap partition by default on this 128GB RAM server... Outdated rule of thumb is outdated.

I don’t think you need a rule of thumb for swap above something like 64gb.

New rule: Disable swap entirely. If you go into swap on a modern machine you've got a runaway memory leak so OOMkill is inevitable

Best if it happens quickly rather than after several minutes of slowing the whole system to a crawl

I run my social media browser in a VM with 2GB of RAM. It OOMs and restarts once or twice a week

quite often, my 128GB RAM servers have 128GB SSDs. Wonder what Ubuntu does then. :)
-
Yeah, I was wondering. This one has 11TB of SSD storage though (and 5.8TB of spinning rust, before RAID) :-D

Well maybe you want to hibernate the server :P

Ubuntu disables hibernate by default because btrfs breaks it, as does a lot of hardware https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html …

my personal swap rule of thumb is 0 swap. All it does is slug the machine unresponsively for X hours until it OOMS :)

That's what I tend to do these days.
