I updated 8.10 to 9.04 ubuntu.
I noticed that during the booting 'swap file' was created.
This came up only in the 9.04.
After few starts, the swap file creation went for ever, the boot process got stuck. I tried to interrupt it by obvious like ctrl+c, but only after I pressed crtl+alt+del the booting continued.
I noticed that the partition filled after each boot more end more, resulting now that a standard installation is about 8gb in size and I can not boot any more since no space on the disk for opening profile and so on.
Can this swap file be somehow avoided or stopped? Why can the 9.04 not use the usual swap partition?
A wubi installation of 9.04 is already impossible due to this swap file, so why not avoid it at all?
