      @The-Party-of-Hell-No

      Your in luck that is 1GB

      64MB X 2 = 128MB a fourth of a 1GB

      128MB X 2 = 512MB or half a 1GB

      512 X 2 = 1024MB or Also known as 1GB :)

      Ahh shit, I sound like a bumpkin... never mind.

            Quick Question @stephenw10 @jimp

            I am testing SWAP on a USB drive and I used gpart to create a swap partition on the drive, I have it referenced and it is working...

            This all seemed to math up with the SSD use

            Just to confirm this is correct right I can hear the drive running seeking etc

            I checked the ada0 made sure it would work unplugged it to make use it was the right drive name also

                @stephenw10 said in SG2100 128GB SSD and Swap:

                /dev/ada0s3b

                With use of the drive "da0" in place of "/dev/ada0s3b how can I still use the SWAP and have coredumps generate?

                How can I still use the external drive for swap and access core dumps in /var/crashes?

                  I need to use

                  /dev/ada0s3b for dump

                  and
                  /dev/da0 for swapping

                  can I separate them?

                    Not easily. Not as far as I know at least.
