As you may have seen in my other recent question, we're setting up a web server currently. It's going to have an excessive amount of RAM (3GB) - basically, with this (according to man tuning) we need 6GB swap space. This isn't a problem itself, we'll have plenty of space on the HDD for it. We;re wondering though if we should order it later in the partition table than one normally would for swap - probably last - as it never will be used in any normal operation of the server (we're having far far more RAM than we'll need for a good while to come). So, that given, any problems putting the swap space at the end of the partition table instead of near the start as one normally would?
