Re: how can a bit be off in memory?

Charles T. Smith <cts.private@xxxxxxxxx> did eloquently scribble:
Remake what with -c? I don't see a -c option with swapon().

I said reMAKE, not turn it on again
mkswap
-c Check the device (if it is a block device) for bad blocks before
creating the swap area. If any are found, the count is printed.


Oh, you mean the swap partition?

Hmmm. You mean you think executable images get swapped out?

They do when they're not currently in use. Data also gets swapped out, which
could become corrupted if mapped to a bad swap sector.
