Hi folks, I let Yast do the partitioning on my work machine and I guess I now have 1 swap partition. I remember reading a "partitioning" How-To and there was a sample list which showed that the author had more than one swap partition. My questions are .. .. 1) Does it actually help to have more than one swap partition ? 2) If yes then how many for a machine with 96MB Ram ? 3) Should I put them on diferent Hard Disks ? 4) Is it possible to add another swap partition to an existing installation without starting again at the begining. I know I can use FIPS to make some space but how do I then format the new partition as swap and let Linux know that it is there and ready for use. Finally.. .. Being a newbie I expected to see my current swap partition in my /etc/fstab file but it isn't there - which file keeps that info? Hope you guys will help.
