So increasing swap spaces increases the amount of memory available to
applications. If you mean you want to treat the memory stick as RAM,
no, that is not possible. It is a completely different piece of
hardware, and I donn't see why you would want to do that. If you are
willing to take the latency than use it as a swap device, you even get
heuristics that try to minimize swapping for free.
Yes. That's exactly what I meant. To treat the memory stick as RAM. I know it's
a different piece of hardware, but I thought it might exist a mechanism that would
allow me to do that.
