He's not suggesting you use a swap partition; he's suggesting you swapon th= e=20 file directly without using the loopback device, ie: swapon /path/to/file/on/reiserfs This allows the kernel to perform certain optimizations and removes the=20 overhead of the loopback device. =2DRyan --nextPart1230411.UrjID7IX2L Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBmTLpW4yVCW5p+qYRAovEAJ90ntUCjwKQfLofi8WBnr2tfecyPgCgt2je xAksRUJ61JPYu3o5Cn3bLHc= =64L1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1230411.UrjID7IX2L-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
