Hard Hat Mac
After losing my preferences yet again to the rapacious swap files of OS X, and then waiting for roughly an hour while startup attempted to once more untangle my fscked-up disk, I’ve decided that it’s finally time to rebuild my iBook. Once my backup finishes running, I’m going to reformat my drive. This time, I’m going to try sequestering the virtual memory swap files on a separate 1GB partition using the likes of Swap Cop. Hopefully, this will (a) keep my swap files less fragmented, (b) protect my main partition (with its precious preference files) safe from the devouring swap files, and (c) keep me from tying up too much potential swap space with MP3s and such.
Here goes nothing…
