Re: Where do you put your swap partition?

["Andres Migliazzo" <list.debianlinux@gmail.com>]

Hello, 

To answer the original question, I use to put my swap file in /boot file system:

#dd if=/dev/zero of=/boot/swap bs=512k count=1024
#mkswap /boot/swap
#swapon /boot/swap

Then I edit /etc/fstab and add the following entry:
/boot/swap      none            swap    defaults        0       0

Sometimes you have to make it work on a shoe string, and replacing the hardware is not an option, I have been there... many times.

Regards...

Andrew

We've had broadband for 8 years, and all the only important store
