Are you sure you need swap at all? If so, will your server still deliver acceptable performance if it is actively swapping? If yes, then the performance of the swap space clearly matters. If not, you want to avoid that anyways and just keep the swap around in case that something bad™ happens (to avoid the OOM to kick in immediately). A swap file gives you more flexibility at the cost of a slight performance loss. As swap is nowadays not really needed, I would hence suggest going with a swap file. Best regards, Claudius
