On Sat, Jul 06, 2002 at 02:37:02PM -0700 I heard the voice of Darren Pilgrim, and lo! it spake thus:

And you can have more than a single swap partition.

Up to four, so then the theoretical limit for swap is 8TB?

I hope not, since I have 6 of 'em. 4's just the default.

Do these management structures grow as swap grows, or do they only change as the utilization increases?

I believe they're pre-allocated, so it's the size of swap configured (not used) that eats it.
