Are you sure you need swap at all? If so, will your server still
deliver acceptable performance if it is actively swapping? If yes,

One thing to know about up front -
ything? Create one large partition, encrypt it, set it up with
lvm, then partition out the lvm into whatever partitions, swap,
whatever that you desire. That is a standard configuration for the
debian-installer. I use it on laptops. It works great. But the
advantage here would be that you wouldn'

Squeeze is running a dependency based boot scheme controlled by
insserv. You may be fighting it and not knowing it. Normally you
would have LSB dependency headers in the /etc/init.d/ scripts and

I don't have an answer, only ideas.
IIRC, scripts in only one of the rc?.d are executed on startup. Which

/etc/inittab.
Looking at my cryptdisks and cryptdisks-early scripts, they appear to be

Yes.
Or, at least, last time I checked you could still do this. I've forgotten the
exact system though. Probably something like:

Hi Debian!
I am trying to get swsusp working in the 2.6.8 kernel that comes with
the installer rc2. I have asked this question before, but now I know more.
So I recompiled the kernel with:
# Power management options (ACPI, APM)
#
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y
CONFIG_PM_DISK=y
CONFIG_PM_DI

In general a swap partition is ever so slightly more efficient than a

None of the above. Put it on a separate drive. If it's IDE, make that
a master with no slave, too.

Dunno
hi ya walter
good question ...
- anybody measued any of the partition schemes ??
am assuming "a" is the outer tracks "d" is the inner tracks...
-- swap should be NOT an issue... if you sustain constant 32Mb or 64Mb or
128Mb of swap space usage ADD that much more memory !!!

On a very fast drive (7200RPM U2WSCSI or faster) seperate from all other
filesystem tasks. Mount it under /swapfiles and add the apropriate
entries in fstab.
If you needed to create a swap file, where would you put it?
/var/local/swap0?

Hi there,
I have only a small root FS (30 megs,) and I don't want a swap part'n (not
very flexible,) therefore I use a swap file.
Which is the "proper" place to place the swap file? Is it recommended to make
a link to /dev/swap?
Thanks,
Ralf

There's a mini-HOWTO for this:
