However, I can understand a desire to use it for swap in order to force the kernel to use both spindles when swapping, increasing the performance of swap. I don't know if the vm system in Linux has improved to the point where it will balance multiple swap partitions or not, but it used to be that the kernel would use the first swap partition exclusively until it was full before taking advantage of the second and subsequent partitions. -- Chris "I trust the Democrats to take away my money, which I can afford.
