That may be anoher "informed opinion" question. I'm pretty sure that at one time it was the case that it was more efficient to swap to a device than to a file. Also at boot time it'd be nice to mount the swap before mounting the filesystems read/write. And I would think it's better to have all the swap in one continuous partition if you can. Of course the other thing he could do is swapoff and remove the file once oracle is installed, on the grounds that the oracle engineers don't know what they're talking about. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
