There is no advantage*, with Linux 2.6 kernels, to having a swap
partition over having a swap file. Swap files are more flexible, easier
to manage. As a Linux Kernel Engineer, you should know that;-)
* unless you're using suspend to disk, I'm not sure about that.
That's my title - I'm still working my way into it, and I'm learning as fast as I can.
Actually, no, I didn't know that. The last kernel I was familiar with (for about six months) was pre-2.0.
Does that mean (and this applies to another thread along this line that's also going on around here I think) that we don't need a swap partition at all? Is the swap file automatic, or do we have to specify it (yeah, I know, rtfm, but where is t.f.m.?).
Thanks.
