Relative speed of swap space - Partition of file

2007-12-25 9:03:00

Wanting to increase the swap space on my IPX, I asked for opinions on

the relative merits of using mkfile and swapon to add swap space in

the filesystem and increasing the size of the swap partition.

I got two replies - one said that it didn't make much difference, one

said it did.

For now I've gone through the filesystem, but next time I have a disc

crash I'll repartition.
