Everything very useful in this topic but... Do you really need a swap file bigger than 1GB? Remember that, as a rule of thumb, swap file should be the double of your RAM size but anyway not useful bigger than 1GB.
This depends on your usage. I have 2 GB main memory, and several VMwares instances at the same time. But mostly only one of them is active. (The one that I use for current tests.) Swapping the unused is OK, as long as one can wait for the disk thrashing when one re-activates it. It's faster and more convenient than VMware suspend, if one uses a different VMware every 15 minutes or so. Using only 1GB swap spaces would be counterproductive since they fill up so fast if VMwares are swapped out... :-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
