Your Mac already has a swapfile, what is a swap partition?
Exactly what it sounds like. A reserved section of disk that is used for swap. Normally the fastest part of the disk (or a dedicated disk) is chosen.
The OS already handles expanding & swapping RAM to disk. It's only an issue on spinning disks, do you have an SSD Srinivas_Gadi?
I can't see how a swap partition can be that much faster, ultimately if RAM is still writing back to the same disk it will perform within it's capabilities. All the other disk IO will be slowing the process too.
See some of the old posts too…

How to create recovery partition in new(changed) HDD.

my new HP pavilion g4 laptop HDD have crased, then I replce it by HP care. I upload original win 7 by recovery disk(DVD) but when I open my computer it shows only one partition (C drive, there is no recovery partition and HP tool.
So how to creates recovery partition by recovery disk(DVD)...........please help me.

Creating the recovery partition
Right-click the start orb, and start 'Disk Management'.
Shrink the C: drive by let's say 20-30GB.
Then create a new Partition and assign the R: label to it and name it RECOVERY.
Then open command prompt as administrator and type: 'recimg /createimage <directory>',
In this case: 'recimg /createimage R:\' to save it on the new partition.
This step may consume a lot of time.
Now we need to register the newly created recovery image: 'recimg /setcurrent <directory>'
'recimg /setcurrent R:\'
Voila you are done.
Restoring from recovery partition
You may want to use this restoring method by default, because it is the easiest way to do so if your recovery partition is still intact. If not, look at the other recovery methods to see which suits you best. This is usually the way you reset or refresh your Windows installation if you purchase a computer from a brand like Lenovo instead of building one yourself
Press the Windows-key + C to open the charms bar or swipe in from the right.
Click Settings.
Click Change PC Settings.
Click Update & Recovery in the menu on the left.
Click Recovery.
If all your documents are safe and sound in your user folder, you can use Refresh your PC without affecting files. However I still recommend taking a back-up... If you want to do a complete reinstallation of Windows and also clean your user folder in the process then choose Remove everything and reinstall Windows.

How to create DB partitioning in active data tables for ods?

hi all,
Can anyone let me know how to create DB partitioning in active data tables for ods. if any docs pls share with me at my email id : [email protected]
regds
haritha

Haritha,
The following steps will briefly explain you to improve the performance in terms of DB partitioning as well as loading. Please find the same,
transaction RSCUSTA2,
oss note 120253 565725 670208
and remove 'bex reporting' setting in ods if that ods not used for reporting.
hope this helps.
565725
Symptom
This note contains recommendations for improving the load performance of ODS objects in Business Information Warehouse Release 3.0B and 3.1 Content.
Other terms
Business Information Warehouse, ODS object, BW, RSCUSTA2, RSADMINA
Solution
To obtain a good load performance for ODS objects, we recommend that you note the following:
1. Activating data in the ODS object
In the Implementation Guide in the BW Customizing, you can implement different settings under Business Information Warehouse -> General BW settings -> Settings for the ODS object that will improve performance when you activate data in the ODS object.
1. Creating SIDs
The creation of SIDs is time-consuming and may be avoided in the following cases:
a) You should not set the indicator for BEx Reporting if you are only using the ODS object as a data store.Otherwise, SIDs are created for all new characteristic values by setting this indicator.
b) If you are using line items (for example, document number, time stamp and so on) as characteristics in the ODS object, you should mark these as 'Attribute only' in the characteristics maintenance.
SIDs are created at the same time if parallel activation is activated (see above).They are then created using the same number of parallel processes as those set for the activation. However:if you specify a server group or a special server in the Customizing, these specifications only apply to activation and not the creation of SIDs.The creation of SIDs runs on the application server on which the batch job is also running.
1. DB partitioning on the table for active data (technical name:
The process of deleting data from the ODS object may be accelerated by partitioning on the database level.Select the characteristic after which you want deletion to occur as a partitioning criterion.For more details on partitioning database tables, see the database documentation (DBMS CD).Partitioning is supported with the following databases:Oracle, DB2/390, Informix.
1. Indexing
Selection criteria should be used for queries on ODS objects.The existing primary index is used if the key fields are specified.As a result, the characteristic that is accessed more frequently should be left justified.If the key fields are only partially specified in the selection criteria (recognizable in the SQL trace), the query runtime may be optimized by creating additional indexes.You can create these secondary indexes in the ODS object maintenance.
1. Loading unique data records
If you only load unique data records (that is, data records with a one-time key combination) into the ODS object, the load performance will improve if you set the 'Unique data record' indicator in the ODS object maintenance.
Hope this helps..

How to create dialog in Acrobat on Mac?

Hi,
Can anyone please guide me how to create dialog in acrobat in mac??
Is there any sample in acrobat sdk for mac which creates dialog without using any third party library??
Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no longer any built-in cross-platform API for showing dialog boxes other than simple alerts in the C/C++ Acrobat SDK. Some might consider this a deficiency in a plug-in API for a cross-platform GUI application. Anyway, you can always use the system APIs, such as Cocoa on Mac or the Windows API on Windows. We mainly use wxWidgets in our plug-in, for both modal dialogs and modeless palettes.

How to create a partition on existing table?

Hey
Could some one please tell me on how to create a partition on existing table?

Could some one please tell me on how to create a partition on existing table?
You can't - that isn't possible. Unless a table is already partitioned you can NOT create another partition on it.
You must either redefine the table as a partitioned table (using the DBMS_REDEFINITION package) or create a new partitioned table and move the data to its new partitions.
The choice will depend on how much data the existing table has and whether you can do it offline.

How to create another partition on mac and restore from time machine

I want to create another partition on my macbook running on OS X Yosemite. I want to recover a time machine back up on this partition. Basically this is a backup of my other old PC which I saved on a time machine external hard disk and now I want to create it as a new separate partition which I can log into to as opposed to continuous to connected to it via USB.
Any advise on how I can do that?

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the that great tip.
In that time machine back up I have some applications for e.g. MS office etc and I wanted it to be like a virtual machine as such that I launch when I want to use the applications, see my data etc....I have bought parallels as that allows you to have multiple virtual machines on your laptop whether these are multiple mac images as time machine backups or linux, Microsoft Windows 7, 8 etc....
Thats what I eventually want to do here...
This feature that you provided is also of good reference for me in future.

How to create a partition using the free space of an existing[SOLVED]

Hi Guys,
Since I could not install fifa 09 using wine on linux, I need to create a partition where I can install windows first in order to install fifa 09 on it. How can I create a partition using the rest free space of my , for example, /home partition?How can I do it in a secure way (meaning without doing something to my existing archlinux installation files and system files) ?
Thanks.
Please see this post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=109402

Use Parted Magic. But you *should* backup any important files just in case, regardless of method you use. You never know. Someone could unplug your computer, a power surge might happen, etc. A cousin of mine actually did something similar while I was gaming, the extension cord has a red button which he "accidentally" pressed. I would've cracked his skull had he done it while resizing a partition.
Anyway, the partitioning scheme should be the first thing you do when you decide go this route (dual booting). I remember about a year ago I forced myself to use Linux by formatting the entire drive to ext4, except for the 2 GB + 20 GB ntfs partitions. It was what kick-started me on this path. Here's my partitioning scheme for both computers, maybe you'll get an idea and do something similar:
Older computer:
2 GB ntfs - MicroXP
8 GB ext4 - Arch Linux + Home dir (to keep the dot files organized in one place)
20 GB ntfs - games partition
Rest is for media, formatted as ext3 with inode 128 (so it can be loaded as Read-Only in Windows too via Ext2fsd so they won't be affected in case of a virus infection)
New computer:
20 GB Windows 7
10 GB Arch Linux + home dir
50 GB games partition
Rest of the space is ext4 mounted to /media
Note that they're all primary partitions for remembering easier (sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4) instead of a combination of primary and extended which would probably look like sda1, sda5, sda6, sda7, etc.

How to create new partition on a brand-new Satellite P50T-A0EE?

Hi,
I bought a Toshiba, Satellite P50T-A0EE SLV laptop yesterday with installed Win 8, in Adelaide. First, I realised that only one C:/ partition is available and no additional partition is created for data and for some reason, already 150 GB is used on the C:/ by the factory installed software.
Moreover, checking the disk management, it came up that four primary partitions exist.
One is the C:/, two others are called Healthy (Recovery Partition), and one is the Healthy (EFI System Partition).
As I read up about it, a fifth primary partition is questionable to create, maybe even not supported.
When I just started to launch on C:/ the 'shrink volume' command, much less space was offered to use than it was displayed as free under file manager.
Could someone help, please how to create a separate partition with a reasonable size (600 GB at least from the 1Tb) for data? I would not like to keep my data files on a same partition with windows.
Thanks,
Gerti

Hi dude,
Before you would start to modify the HDD partitions table, I recommend strongly to create an Toshiba Recovery Medium using the preinstall software/tool called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.
This software creates either the recovery disks (DVDs) or Recovery USB flash memory.
Its very important to create such medium in case you would like to go back to the factory state.
After that you could use an open source software like Gparted tool to create the partitions and to modify the HDD partitions table.
http://gparted.org/liveusb.php
Note: the partitions which are already available on the HDD contain the Toshiba recovery image which allows you to recover the notebook from HDD. But this is possible only in case the HDD partitions table has not been modified in the past.

How to Create Multiple Partitions in Windows?

I have just carried out a clean install of Lion then used Boot Camp to install Windows.
With Snow Leopard I had the ability to create multiple partitions in Windows but this seems impossible in Lion for whatever reason.
Can anyone please tell me how to achieve this?

If you're using Boot Camp, I'd post your question on the Boot Camp section:

How to create a partition using Boot camp assistant 4.0.1 ?

Hi, i would like to "Partition" my drive and not "Install" windows 7 like the assistant asks me... I wanted to increase the size of my bootcamp partition. So i used winclone to save it and now to restore it i need a NTFS partition that is normally created with the bootcamp assistant. But with the latest (4.0.1) i have no choice to partition and report the installation for later. As it was before.... So can someone tell me how i can create that partition on my drive? Because when i choose the size and then click install, the assistant requires a disk that i don't have. Thx for your help.

So i called apple today and the outcome is that i cannot partition my disk with BCA 4.0.1. Not anymore. The only way to do it is to go back to Snow leopard, with BCA 3.0 to partition your disk. and then upgrade to lion once you made your partition with BCA 3.0. And another thing: you can only install Windows 7 not Vista or XP. with BCA 4.0.1 its the only one allowed. So for everyone out there trying to increase the size of your Bootcamp partition using Winclone, it's not possible with Lion anymore. I ended up bying a windows 7 copy at retail price.... and start over again..

Creating Swap Partitions for Oracle 8

I am in the delimma of having already installed RedHat 5.2, with
the intention of installing Oracle 8, however, I have created a
swap partition of 32MB on a machine that has 48MB of RAM.
Rather than repartition my hard drive to create a swap partition
that is three times the size of the RAM installed, (as
recommended by the installation guide), would I be able to
create a swap file to overcome this limitation?

You can create swap on a file using the following script. Replace
"u01" with your mount point. Change "count" to the number of 1K
blocks you want.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/u01/swapfile bs=1024 count=524288
mkswap -c -v1 /u01/swapfile
chmod 0600 /u01/swapfile
swapon /u01/swapfile
swapon -s
