I have seen this rule in several places, and it seems to work good these days.

1. I do not think the ram * 2 = swap rule was designed for servers with 36gb
of ram (but then again, that could be why the v880 has 6 72gb drives)

2. Memory is cheep enough so you should not be using any of that 72gb of swap.
