It currently has 6 disks in it. I also have another dual P3 system with five disks. How many of those disks can/should have swap space? I recall reading in the handbook somewhere that it there should be no more than 4. Why not? I've also read that the swap should not be the first partition/slice? on the disk. Does this apply only for the first disk with / on it, or for all of them? Can anyone point me to more definitive answers? Thank you in advance. -Christopher Corayer Information Services ADE Technologies 77 Rowe Street Newton, MA 02466 p.617.831.8043 f.617.243.4443 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
