I did so, and for me it worked fine. How about fixing the memory leak? :-) Anyway, in most cases HD space is cheap and you can easily allocate 3-4 times your RAM -- if you need more, you have a bad leak or should definitively buy more RAM. In all other cases, you can add swap space on the fly. And if you have multiple fast hard disks, do make a swap space on them all (or even better on each raid system) and use the kernel's inbuild ability to strip over them (set the priority identical). -Wolfgang _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
