So maybe start with a few gig and add an additional swap > file if necessary? Swapping to a file is really slow and should only be done if absolutely necessary since every read/write has to go through the filesystem code which it doesn't do if done via a swap slice. Good point. It's been several years and back on v5 or 6 when I did somethi= ng like this. If there's unpartitioned space on the drive, can one add a s= econdary swap partition real-time? I forget what I did here - I'm sure I f= ollowed what's in the handbook re swap space. Probably did a swap file... <font size=3D"1"> <div style=3D'border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0i= n 0in 1.0pt 0in'> </div> "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
