Take a 16Gb server. You now want to buy 64Gb of hard disk for the swap. Only because of partition limits you'll beed at least 2 disks entirely dedicated to it, which also means a controller a larger PSU and a bigger case. The swap behaviour of 2.4 is a bug. - 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/
