- a couple of other pointers are:
- NeXTAnswers OS.355
- /etc/rc.swap
- man swaptab
- man checkswap
-
- but is the swapfile contiguous in the default setup created by BuildDisk?
- (and so by using a faster disk you still may do worse due to increased seeking?)
- if so, is there a way to create a contiguous swapfile?
-
- or is the only way to do this to create a separate partition?
