I can give it a try, but I don't see why it would make any difference. Swap files bypass the filesystem completely during the I/O phase as the swap code builts an extent map during swapon and then submits bios by itself. That also means no allocator calls or other forms of metadata updates. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
