Re: [TCLUG:17578] Partition: swap

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

the upper limit for ext2 is _not_ 2gig, ext2 is not _efficient_ over 4gig,
but is still not a problem.. I have systems setup with 10-30gig ext2
systems, and don't see any major problems.. this is why there are new
filesystems in developemnt, including IBM jfs, SGI xfs, and ReiserFS.

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)
