[Bullock, Ronald]

Thank you for the quick response. My problem is that I specified the
swap partition to be on one of the hard drives. If the system was going
to create a dynamic swap file, shouldn't there be an entry in the fstab,
or somewhere? 
Just curious..

Hmmmm... Could be a swap file...

swap-adding.html

Might use lsof and grep for those file names to see if anything is
writing to them
depending on the timestamps.
