Subject: [gentoo-user] activating swap by udev event

Hi,


I would like to increase the speed of my machine by putting some swap on a
fast pendrive. It is working manually by starting a script

swapon -s
swapon -p -1 /dev/sdb1
swapoff /dev/sda6
swapon -p -2 /dev/sda6
swapon -s

but, I would like to make it automatic by creating an udev rule, so when I
plug in that device the swap space is automatically activated and the
priority is changed. I've tried to google for a solution like this, but I
did not find. Maybe you already have some script at hand :) can you please
share this with me?

Thanks
Laszlo
