Your current setup will fill /dev/hda2 first. Now that I look at it there's no benefit for YOU since both swap partitions are on the same disk! If they were on seperate disks you'd get some performance benefit if you added priority args: /dev/hda2 none swap sw,pri=1 /dev/hdb2 none swap sw,pri=1 Cheers, -- Nathan Norman "Eschew Obfuscation" Network Engineer GPG Key ID 1024D/51F98BB7 http://home.midco.net/~nnorman/ Key fingerprint = C5F4 A147 416C E0BF AB73 8BEF F0C8 255C 51F9 8BB7
