How does one turn off paging to disk?
I am booting with root=/dev/ram, with no disk, and I was
wondering how to disable swapping (or at least fool Linux
into swapping from memory to memory :)
Thanks!
Mayan

iirc, swapping is activated by the program swapon. look through your
startup sequence to figure out when this is activated, and disable it. or,
if you just need to disable swapping temporarily, i believe there's a
swapoff program. finally, if you comment out the lines in /etc/fstab that
indicate what your swap partition(s) are, then swapon probably won't do
anything.
