Effectively: create a partition sized to your current RAM. Replicate this to the total system RAM. Mount 1-2 of these partitions. E.g.: - System has 1 GiB RAM and supports 4 GiB RAM: - Create four 1-GiB swap partitions. Mount one or two of these. You'll expand into the remaining two as you add system RAM. Peace. -- Karsten M.
