Well, speaking purely personally, I don't see how this differs usefully from just creating as much ordinary swap as the maximum you let it use. The only difference I see is that it lets files compete with swap for disk space (at relatively coarse granularity); that strikes me as more of a bug than a feature, in that I wouldn't want either to be capable of running the other out of space, so presumably there's some use case I'm missing where that's useful. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
