Normally, swapfiles are allocated in the "middle" of the disk and are created so that they are pretty much contiguous.
The reason is so that the disk head, on average, will have to move the shortest distance before it hits the cylinder in the swapfile it needs. Having the file at the beginning or end of the disk is not a big deal but it will, on average, increase seek time. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seek_time |
