Subject: [gentoo-user] Any experience with swapfiles?
Date: Wed, 02 May 2012 11:53:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jnrvrl$57h$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)
I have two machines with 4GB of ram and I've never seen either one use
swapspace (yet) so I'm thinking I could delete my swap partitions and
substitute a much smaller swapfile -- if it's safe.
Any downside to using a swap file instead of a swap partition, maybe
depending on which filesystem you use, or something? Security holes?
Any horror stories out there?
