Moving the OS X swap file to a faster drive
- by Milky Joe
I have a new Mac Mini that's running the latest version of Snow Leopard. The internal drive is a bit of a slouch. I'd like to move the swap file (or whatever it's called is OS X) to my faster external drive (Firewire 800, permanently connected).
Is this possible? I've read that the old solutions aren't working in 10.6.
My Mac has 2GB of RAM, so the swap file is used quite a bit when I'm doing intensive work (Photoshop etc).
