I wouild like to optimize my partitioning scheme Example A space a b swap(center of drive) c d Example B a b swap c d Example C a b c d swap(center of drive) In this example, i assume a to be /usr and c to be /var Which example gives the best performance. Does 2.2 do elevator seeking So the root question is, should sawp be between the most active file systems, or should swap be in the center of the drive Thanks, Walter
