Yeah, I see (overlooked this somehow, sorry for the dumb question ;) So, if someone wants to get really quick swap and allocates 4 partitions on 4 drives *AND* also wand to get crashdumps, (s)he has to do this suboptimally (either allocate 1st more sized than phys RAM and other much smaller, or allocate approx 4 x phys RAM)? The, the question: which technique is preferrable? Sidenote: Yes, I'm aware that in "normal case" machine should not swap at all, but consider something like multi-user machine which is *normally* does not swap but need to adopt high peaks in load.
