That seems logical. So I was asking myself, what should be the most optimal cluster/bloksize for this swap space file. Usually I reserve a separate partition of 4 Gbyte on my servers that come with 2 Gbyte of memory. I think that windows uses 4 Kbyte memory pages but it swaps out more than just one page. So my question is... Should I format the Swap partition with 64k blocks or just 4K ? Thanks for any feedback ;-) [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
