I've always thought that having a separate swap partition was the best approach, rather than a swap file inside /. The usage of swap versus normal file storage is different, and it makes sense to use something optimised for it. And it strikes me that doing one thing inside another inside another (e.g. delving into large files as swap), is inefficient, too. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
