hope its clear now. sandeep
So if the /swap size is more than 2 times the RAM size then
the remaining in /swap partion which is more than 2 times the RAM is not used.
ie, 128 MB is the RAM size i made the /swap partion size as 300 MB so in the 300 MB , 128 MB is used as write 128 MB is used for read so toaly 256 MB is used as swap remaining 44 MB in /swap partion is unused.
Correct me if im wrong....
