SubjectRe: Static Swap
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Part of the problem with this is that on other OS's it really is a
nessasary rule. For several AIX boxes we have I have had to add hard
drives to them so hold the swap partition becouseeven with 2G of ram each
they would run out of swap before they ran out of memory now that swap is
in the 3-4G range we are actually able to use all the memory in the
system. Linux swap does not work this way, but most unix people don't
realize it.

"If users are made to understand that the system administrator's job is to
make computers run, and not to make them happy, they can, in fact, be made
happy most of the time. If users are allowed to believe that the system
administrator's job is to make them happy, they can, in fact, never be made
happy."
