Introduction to dphys-swapfile setup/mount script. This program is aimed at using an automatically installed and RAM size dependantly (re-)sized swap file instead of an fixed size (from partitioning) swap partition. Install the system without an swap partition and then install and run this. This program should work on any Linux system. It is unlikely to be portable to any non-Linux without lots of work (near rewrite). This project has produced an script for (re-)creating an swap file on every boot, and then mounting it, also unmounting it on shutdown, and offering removal of the swap file when not needed any longer. This project is fully open source. Documentation gets written together with the code. Everything I write is immediately available for download. Current version is what I am working on, if I write a bug you crash the next day. Older stable versions are archived as Milestones. Working package, in productive use on over 100 machines.
