Moving the swap file to the end of a disk drive is actually a good thing. Let's assume the disk drive looks like one long line like: files -- free space -- swap space This allows the re-writing of files to take place in the middle area (the free space) without ever causing a collision with the swap file. The swap file is free to grow and shrink at the end of the drive. -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
