Subject: RFC: Remove swap file support
Date: Sat, 07 Jul 2001 11:34:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B472C06.78A9530C@mandrakesoft.com> (raw)
Since you can make any file into a block device using loop,
is there any value to supporting swap files in 2.5?
swap files seem like a special case that is no longer necessary...
