Yes.

Yes. Simply use mkswap and swapon/off on a regular file instead of a
partition device. I don't notice any signifi

Hi,
first of all, I am not complaining, or calling things buggy. I know
that what I am running is "work in progress" and that one gets what one
deserves :-) 2.4.x has been stable for me and given me no severe problem
besides the changed pcmcia/cardbus support somewhere in 2.4.4-acx
Just let me
I'd be forced to agree. I have 2.4.x in limited production, and with
the exception of the HP/APIC fatal issues that have a "noapic"
work-around, I have had no problem at all with any of the 2.4.x kernels
I've used.
Open software by definition will never reach the kind of monolithic
stability
This is my first email to the list. I'm not subscribed but I've read it
for years.
I don't agree with those claiming that 2.4.xx is bad or still beta.
We the administrators have the responsability to test early kernels and
send good bug reports so the developers can solve the bugs. That's the

I have a 2.4.5-ac3 box with 1G RAM and 2.6G Swapfirst time
developers hit apache/php/zendcache after reboot and it swapped to a stop.
I stop/restarted apache and it seems very happy...can't goto production like this tho

I don't know myself, (it sounds like other bigmem problems), but setting up a
2GB swap file is easy enough to test. :-)

Actually I take everything back. I've been testing on linux-2.4.5-xfs and seen
major improvements.

Linus 2.4.0 notes are quite clear that you need at least twice RAM of swap
with 2.4.
Marcelo is working to change that but right now you are running something
