Are those partition numbers in order of location on disk? Most hard drives have the low cylinder numbers on the outside of the disk (which has slightly lower average seek times and much better bulk transfer rates). You generally don't want the swap on the high cylinder numbers! -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
