Try http://noflushd.sourceforge.net/ Love it. Been running with this and without swap for well over a year. Ignore the message that it thinks another noflushd is running. Also, check the recent Linux Kernel ml on CONFIG_TINY - good stuff about getting rid of swap. >From the site: This is noflushd, a daemon that spins down disks that have not been read from after a certain amount of time, and then prevents disk writes from spinning them back up. It's for use with kernel versions 2.2.11 and up, where the userland bdflush (update) daemon has been fully integrated in the new kernel thread kupdated (formerly known as kupdate). noflushd uses the sleep support logic from bdflush-1.6.2. bdflush was originally written by Eric Youngdale, Pavel Machek added the sleep support.
