# swapd.conf - config file for swapd

# Copyright 2000 Neven Lovric <[e-mail]>

# Ripped this from the man page ;)
#
# I tried using --config, but it doesn't work for 0.4.0a; this is my
# hackish workaround.

# Memory limit in KiB.
# When the total amount of free memory gets below this number, swapd creates
# a new swap file.
# 16384 or more recommended (16MiB)
memlimit=16384

# Pause between memory checks in mS.
# When the total amount of free memory is above <memlimit>, swapd will pause
# for <pause> mS before checking memory again.
# 1000 should be ok for most systems (1S)
pause=1000

# Swap file size in KiB.
# >= 64, 4096 recommended (4MiB), 64MiB max :)
minswapsize=4096
maxswapsize=65536

# Maximum number of swap files.
# No more than <maxswaps> swap files will be used.
# 0 = unlimited (as many as the kernel will allow)
maxswaps=0

# Timeout in seconds.
# If the last created swap file is unused for <sec> seconds, it will be
# removed. The last created swapfile is considered unused when there are
# more than <memlimit> + <swapsize> kb of free memory (physical + swap).
#
# In other words, when a swap file is no longer needed, the thing gets
# removed.
# 60 is nice
timeout=60

# Swap directory where all the swap files are kept.
swapdir=/var/lib/swapd

# PID file (where the currently running swapd stores it's PID so a new swapd
# can find it)
pidfile=/var/run/swapd.pid

# Full path to mkswap.
mkswap=/sbin/mkswap
