Subject: upgrading systems with <= 2 GiB RAM
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2019 15:54:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191031155420.78fab93a@gfi063209.klientdrift.uib.no> (raw)
Hello—
I have an oldish amd64 system with 2 GiB of memory, but it is fast
enough to use as a media center. Guix was last updated early this
year. Upgrading it now takes many days. It keeps on swapping (using
quite consistently 2 of 4 GiB of swap available).
Do you think the swapping is the reason that it takes so long?
Would it be a general strong advice to use more than 2 GiB, or is it
likely useful to give details like which program is compiling (as in a
proper bug report)?
