there must be some way to disable the virtual memory.
yaa of course there should be some way. it is not that

Yes, you can have a system without virtual memory. Search for MMUless linux kernel and you'll see patches/websites.
My point was that disabling VM after its been enabled would tough (if not impossible). Someone correct me if I am wrong here.
Pratik.
I was thinking that an active swap partition was 'virtual memory'. Why are many folks using capital letters 'VM'. Am I missing something? Is 'VM' == virtual memory or is there a application or service called 'VM' ?
Anywho, the only 'virtual memory' I know of is an active swap file or swap partition and either can be started or stopped in a running kernel. (I think.)
