    Hi there,

    I must increase the swap space on a server here. As the system is in the
    field it would be simplier to make a swap file on an existing partition,
    but I'm wondering if I must expect some performance drawback versus a swap
    partition.

    Any idea?...

    Many thanks, Eric
