Just a note here; Linux 2.6 has much better performance than Linux 2.4 when swapping to a file (due to swapping directly to the sectors in question instead of going via the file system, IIRC), but you still get the fragmentation if you don't create the file when the file system is fresh, of course. (I still think a separate swap partition is a lot easier, though.) /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
