Re: [opensuse] swap file placement

<snip>
Swap file placement really depends on how the system will be used. If
you have a layout with:
/, /home, /application-data set up as partitions, and most of your I/O
is going to /application-data, then you probably want to put the swap
closer to /application-data. I usually place it between / and /home.

I've seen some defaults where the swap and /boot are defined the
primary partitions where /, /home, and other file systems are allocated
as logical partitions. Personally, I never allocate primary partitions.
I always use logical partitions for everything.
Thanks to all. I was beginning to think along the same lines - it
depends on your going to use the system.
