why do you say that swap files are not recommended ? I know the're slower than swap partitions, but I can't see what other problems can exist. > Perhaps Debian should make a small survey among its users about the size of > the swap size they are using ? > I've a machine with 64 MB ram, 1 swap partition of about 32 MB (made like that when I only had 32 MB ram) 1 swap file of 127 MB (it doesn't take 128 MB, you must put something less). On another machine with only 16 MB ram I have a 127 MB partition and a 127 MB file. The file gets seldom used.
