Move swap: another benefit, for small disks
Authored by: FlaSheridn on Jun 17, '05 12:13:45PM

Another benefit to moving your swap partition, at least on disks that are low on space: If a memory hog fills up your main partition with swap space, many applications will destroy their preference files when they quit. Moving the swap file avoids this problem, at least pre-Tiger. (I haven't upgraded my old TiBook, so I don't know whether this is still a problem with Tiger.)

I can confirm that with 10.4.1, at least SecuritySpy eats its preferences if the disk fills up.
