We will have to test how that works out. But should > swap be on LVM as well? LVM provides variable size volumes. swap doesn't need that - more swap areas can be defined instead. LVM requires a little more computing overhead, so avoiding its use with swap is preferred. If running RAID then swap has a benefit of using that: If a disk fails you don't want your (virtual) memory to corupt. Please correct me if I am wrong here. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
