I am in the business of re-arranging my disk layouts to reflect the realities if life :) My FreeBSD system currently runs on a SCSI-3 Disk, but I have two modern, fast IDE disks that will be gaining a considerable amount of free space in the re-arrangements. I tend to run during the course of the day several extremely memory loving programs which cause paging/swapping to occur. I would like opinions on whether I would notice an improvement if I moved the swap area (which lives on the SCSI disk with the rest of the system) to the front of one of the IDE disks. I intend to make a new slice on the IDE disk anyway.
I cannot afford any more memory (my mobo will not take it anyway). I ask this more out of curiosity than because it is a particular problem to me at the moment .. but future plans may change the criticality of such decisions. (I am not sure there is such a word as criticality...). Thanks for any input. -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
