<div dir="ltr"><div>Yes. If you have that much on spinning rust then I would dedicate a whole SSD (separate from your boot SSD) to swapcache. At least 128G, maybe even a 256G SSD. 32G is woefully insufficient as a swapcache for 10TB of data.<br><br></div>-Matt<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 4:07 PM, Tim Darby <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:t+dfbsd@timdarby.net" target="_blank">t+dfbsd@timdarby.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span class=""><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms',sans-serif;font-size:small"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">On Thu, Mar 26, 2015 at 3:49 PM, Matthew Dillon </span><span dir="ltr" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><<a href="mailto:dillon@apollo.backplane.com" target="_blank">dillon@apollo.backplane.com</a>></span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"> wrote:</span></div></span><div class="gmail_extra"><span class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

I would not use the installer to try to set it up. I'd do it manually<br>
if you know enough about how installs work to do that. Leave your 40G<br>
SSD in place until you have your new SSD fully operational and booting.<br>
Be careful not to accidently wipe your original SSD while messing with<br>
the new one :-)<br>

You've talked me out of using the installer. :) I should have mentioned that I have approximately 10TB of stuff on spinning disks as well.
