And one more question: What is the difference : between round-robin swaping and raid (raid0)?
According to the documentation, there really is no difference. Memory will be swapped to the partitions equally (if I understand it correctly). The documentation is a bit sparse :) I also recall reading some software RAID docs that said the kernel round robin method was just as efficient as RAID0 on swap, but that you need kernel 1.3.16 or better for that. This is all off the top of my head, so I could be mistaken. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
