Quick question here. I have been using a swap size of 70MB for the last 2 months. It has worked perfectly with no problems, although with 32 MB of RAM, I rarely exceed 10 MB of swap usage. Am I looking for trouble here or is the swap size able to actually be larger than 16MB? I haven't tried this large swap with any kernel before 1.3.8x, so is that the reason it has worked for me?
