I'm thinking not. ext3 is a journaling system for the purpose of data integrity and reliability in the event of a disk failure or some interruption of service. SWAP is the most temporary partition you can possibly have. /tmp would be the next most temporary partition. In general, I believe that the use of journaling file systems is a degredation of performance compared to a non-journaled system. But I could be very wrong in some cases. I'm not really sure.... But regarding swap, I don't think it will do anything useful for you... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
