Multiple swap partitions on two or more hdd
by Grobe from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H88D)
Hi.
I'm currently in a process of reviving an old computer from 2005, RAM limits to 2GB.
The computer will - when I'm done setting it up - consist of multiple HDD's (no ssd's).
Therefore I have the ability to spread the swap over more than one hdd, however I have some questions in that regard:
Thanks in advance for any advice on this :)

- Can one get (slightly) better swap performance (i.e. from user perspective) by having multiple swap partitions over two or more hdd's ?
- Can there be some issues by using two or more swap partitions ?
Thanks in advance for any advice on this :)
