If you really need swap, it gets written to over and over, which isn't exactly the best thing for an SSD. Indeed. That is how I destroyed my first sdd. First it worked flawlessly, but after about 6 months bad block started to appear on the ssd. Swap is something like the safety-lane on the motorway, one shouldn´t need to use it too often, but it should be there because otherwise OOM kicks in with unpredictable results. If you have enough mem, try moving things like /var/run, /tmp and /var/tmp to tmpfs: no need for them on ssd Hw ______________________________________________________________________ Dit bericht kan informatie bevatten die niet voor u is bestemd.
