Yes. The new trend for tmpfs /tmp partitions is going to require a

It is my understanding that,
assuming suspend/resume is supported, your swap partition
should be AT LEAST as large as TWICE the amount of RAM.

Another use for a large swap partition is if you want to put /tmp into
tmpfs.
Whether doing so is a "good thing(TM)" is a religious debate that I
don't want to stir up here. But there are people who do it, and for
them a large swap partition can be useful.

Linux can handle well above 40 GB of swap. I would be surprised if "swap
partition too large" was the reason. My

We used to be taught it should be twice as big as your RAM - but even that
wouldn't get you to 40GB!! And, of course, that was in the days when RAM was
tiny by today

Hello.
I am running Debian 6.
When I installed it, I had a swap partition of about 40GB set up, as is
shown by gparted.
But, for some strnge reason, Debian 6will not use the swap space, even
though gparted shows it to be "Active".
Instead of Debian 6 using the swap[ partition, it just runs
