Hi Bernard.

  I have problems with abinit code, but PAW goes ok. These are very different
kind of codes, so I do not know if the problem with abinit is due to the use o
swap memory. Besides, abinit I build with Intel tools (compilers, cluster tool
kit) and PAW which I use is a binary made with absoft compiler.

  As a work around, may I simply change the partition type by hand with fdisk?
Or it is to dangerous?

  Cheers.
