What is fastest is to have the swap closest to the space that is most used on the drive it shares. If there's a dedicated swap drive, then it doesn't matter, of course. If the swap partition or file is shared with a drive used for other purposes, then what constitutes optimum depends on the pattern of process-driven usage that is most likely to be experienced when swapping actually takes place. Only the user or administrator of the system in question posses the information required to optimized swap allocation and placement. > > Gavin Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
