This is a dedicated NAS. What workload do you expect to be paging to disk? Your primary workload is already reading and writing bits off disk.

- temp0826 3y agoBecause we live in the real world and no system is truly in a bubble if it's connected to a network. But mostly because seeing oom-killer messages in dmesg makes me sad :).
- Dylan16807 3y agoIf something gets leaky enough then it's still going to hurt performance for a while and die. Swap delays that but extra RAM delays it too. If you take a use case where 2GB of memory is fine, and give it 8GB, then you already solved the problem swap would solve. You can always add more but you're past the point of diminishing returns.
