I once read that it was possible to swap to a named file, rather than a swap partition. Is that possible with Jessie?Of course, it's possible. But if you setup a system from scratch I'd highly recommend you put "everything" into an LVM volume group so you can then use an LVM volume for swap rather than a file (but with the same advantages as using a file: it's easy to resize/create on-demand at run-time). Stefan PS: I put "everything" between quotes because I'm not sure I'd recommend to also put /boot in an LVM volume. IIUC it can be made to work nowadays, but my systems still use a two-partition setup: one small partition for /boot, and the rest for LVM.
HUH! U lost me ;/ To paraphrase Julius Caesar: omnia disci en tres partes est: primary extended logical Whither goest LVM? I'm so lost as to not be able to ask an answerable question. Help please ;/ TIA P.S. a wise person admits his ignorance.
