Subject: Windows 383spart.par as SWAP slice? -Reply

If you have any partition entries open,

Turn windows swap off. Defrag the windows partition, and whack a piece of the space off.

Create a logical drive that can be used for either FreeBSD or Windows. (?)

Is it possible to use permanent swap file from M$ Windows 
386spart.par (existing on FAT partition) as a SWAP slice under 
FreeBSD? (I'm short on space on FBSD partition).
If yes, is it faster or slower solution than have real SWAP slice?

TIA
