Hi,
With 5.3 it has become much easier to add swap as a regular file, remove it later, or add a bigger or smaller one instead.
The swap partition always causes me little headache: once the size is choosen at partitioning during install, it's fixed. I can't size it up or down anymore, unless I go fiddling with the partition table, which I desperately like to avoid.
So, why not using swapfile without swap partition at all. Have it on a big partition with lots of space. If there's a problem with the space, I can easily move the swap elsewhere. A swapfile is so much more flexible.
Is there a downside of not using swap partition, and have only swapfile instead?
Thanks, Rob.
