What for? DDR4 is cheap, or        MK> at least was the last time I checked and infinetly better than swap. Why        MK> would you do this to any machine?              On a busy server a little bit of swap can be usefull, so the kernel doesn't       start killing random processes right away when it runs out of real memory.       This gives the administrator some time to take messures, without risking       unplanned interrupted services...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 114/709 120/340 123/131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 550 616 664 700 1016 1017 240/5832 249/110 206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250 5020/545       PATH: 280/464 229/101 426           |
