Gavin, you know who Andrew Morton is, yes? His opinion on the subject: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/7/326 Don't know about you, but I think I'll trust Morton's opinion on this more than the writer of the mkswap man page. BTW, the similarities between what I wrote earlier and Morton's comments in the lkml thread above are not coincidental. ;) -- Stan
