I would say that you're not necessarily being lazy there, if you configure a swap partition then you are limiting where the kernel can write bytes on the SD card which will lead to uneven wear on it. In future with a COW SSD aware wear-leveling filsystem like btrfs a swap file may end up being more SD friendly as the filesystem may (hopefully!) balance out those writes across the card. cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.
