I have such a system, and 'any' swap partition cut out of any other (Linux) partition on your computer will be used by whatever version of Linux may be running at the time, if the or these swap partitions appear in /proc/swaps . /dev/sdb5 partition 17407996 0 -1 /dev/sda2 partition 12701692 0 -2 Of the four versions of Debian on my computer they all use these two swap partitions as one. It can be argued that I have too much swap space and that would be true but, there is so much space available these days the change isn't urgent. It is my view that one doesn't need to make but one swap partition for all the other versions of Linux on your computer. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
