Subject: [gentoo-user] Howto share Linux swap partition with Windows XP
Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 05:16:02 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <glbjqi$ptv$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
For reasons that probably aren't interesting, I needed to
eliminate the Windows XP swap file from the "C:" NTFS parition
of one of my multi-boot machines [no matter how cheap and fast
disks get, partitions still seem to fill up, and backups still
take too long].
That machine had a 2GB Linux swap partition. After googling for
a while, I found a very slick solution that lets Windows XP use
a Linux swap partition for swap/paging/vm/whatever-MS-calls-it:
http://db.bme.hu/~surprof/SwapFs-i/
Maybe others who do a lot of multi-booting all know about
swapfs, but my finding it took quite a bit of searching and
chasing down useless google hits. Next time I need to find it,
hopefully I'll be able to find this posting...
