My builder zone runs frequently out of ram. I am considering to enable swap, but I am not sure where am I supposed to do it? in GZ or NGZ? IF in GZ, does the NGZ needs any configuration?

swap is configured in global zone, but local zone may need config update to allow to use the vm resources...

The ram shortage is also caused not just beacuse of allocations, but also because of /tmp usage -- therefore the alternate approach is to redirect /tmp usage by setting TMPDIR (I hope thats the correct name) to disk based space. /tmp is mounted via tmpfs which isusing virtual memory.
