Swap (file on memory card) is OK for temporary use e.g. to be able to use some www-site, but I wouldn't enable it permanently because: - It makes it much more likely that you accidentally corrupt your memory card FAT file system (and you may not notice it being corrupted & needing repair/reformat) - Swap file on a corrupted file system makes device *really* unstable - In some cases it may cause a performance issue too: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2615 > I use mine for the Internet radio streaming, VPN client, ssh client, > and the occasional game. Regarding the need for swap... Some of the (proprietary?) codecs used by the media server seem to have tiny memory leaks. If you play/stream media files for a long time, even tiny leak can grow huge. So, if you run "top" and press "m" to sort things by memory usage and osso-media-server shows high on the list, restart it with: killall osso-media-server - Eero _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
