This does not answer your question directly, but can you use a swap file instead?
A swap file is just as fast as a swap partiion. You also control the swap file size. I like the swap file route since I can configure it with a startup script in Scalr.net. Some links, if you are not familiar with swap files: How-To http://linux.com/news/software/applications/8208-all-about-linux-swap-space http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ For discussions on the relative speeds/performances: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging (see Linux section) http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/29/3 http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/7/326 On Jul 24, 6:36 pm, Rod Frey <[email protected]> wrote: > I configured an xlarge instance to use as a db machine.
