Subject: Slow swapon for big (12GB) swap
Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2006 13:45:07 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0604091338030.31989@alpha.polcom.net> (raw)

Hi,

I am using big swap here (as a backing for potentially huge tmpfs). And I 
wonder why swapon on such big (like 12GB) swap takes about 7 minutes 
(continuous disk IO). Is this expected? Why it is like that? Can I do 
anything to speed it up? Or maybe remove it into the background with low 
priority or something like that?


Thanks in advance,

Grzegorz Kulewski
