If you are short of memory but there is swap available, swap will be used instead.
sure, but do the kernel care that it's swap, not physical memory? in an other way, is 5 Gb of physical memory and 5 Gb of swap identical of 10Gb of physical memory? if there is no difference, crash will happen whatever swap is created in a time where ram is nearly as big as disk space... jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
