    phys-swapfile Auto-setup/-activation System

    Don't know if anyone has yet heard of it but I recently came across it. Kind of neat, I think.

    This project is aimed at using an swap file on our Linux systems. We want to be able to generate an RAM size dependant swap file in /var, instead of using an fixed sized swap partition. And automatically regenerate the swap file if RAM size changes, to fit the new size.

    This project has produced an dphys-swapfile script for sizing, setting up and mounting an swap file. And an init.d script that runs this script at boot and shutdown time.

    EDIT: Sorry. Forgot the website link.
