I had it default set to 60. Let me google this tid bid information.

I am sure someone or you will ask lol. I didn't want to individually 6 logical drives for each drive and then use the os to manage the data. Cache isn't important drive to me, and the other parity logical drive is the 2nd parity drive for my jbod array.

I have a ProLiant 12 bay server with a raid controller with 2x6 drives each in raid 5 configuration, 1 being a cache drive and the other being a parity drive for my external 40 drive jbod disk array. I thought was cool idea, but after I ran it, seem like more was being put into the swap than I originally thought would actually happen. I discontinued the swap file all together. Seems like mine just wants to use the swap even before ran out of ram.

So I used this plug in on two servers. It seems like it just bogs down the system while the swap is used. I use a raid 5 as the host for the swap file. I guess my question is... adding 8 gigs of swap to the system hurting me? I can't tell that if I am using the swap file for intentions it wasn't not designed to do. My dockers some times eat up my ram, so I was adding an extra 8 gigswap as a catch for the extra load so I wouldn't have to restart the specific containers that just eat the ram up.
