Ceri, This doesn't obviously have a security angle, so feel free to take it to -questions (with CC, please). > > What makes you uncomfortable? > In the lines you quoted ? Nothing. Ok. > Having my swap partition mounted on a memory file system makes me > uncomfortable I think it's a bit misleading to say that the "swap partition" is mounted. I think it more accurate to say that the storage device which backs this filesystem is the system's VM. The filesystem simply provides the semantics for the I/O.
