If swap is a major issue you've clearly not got enough RAM ;)
Swap is not a major issue; I didn't say that. What we are saying is that loss of swap when there is something swapped IS a major issue.
what this remark may me think is this: is the swap really identical to ram (functionally, of course, ne speed involved).
if so, is the ram more important (or less) than Hard drive? Is the ram loss more problematic? Is it more prone to happen? what do you do is your memory chip fails?
More RAM is generally preferable to swap, however disk drives are mechanical devices and thus more likely to fail. If memory fails, you will have problems. Some systems, such as servers, use error correcting memory. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
