This question, along with other recent discussion about swap, leads me to ask a question in response: Why is everyone so concerned about how to get away without swap? Hard drives are cheap. Why does your server with potentially 10GB (!!!) of RAM have a hard drive so small that you can't sacrifice a few GB for swap? I'm really curious. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
