I have moved my system on andexternal Raid 1 enclosure attachet to my iMac through Firewire 800 (the best an iMac can do ;-( ) ...

I'd like to move the swap on the internal disk in order to increase somehow the performances ...

How can I achieve this task?

Thank you in advance

Which version of OSX, its different in 10.4 or earlier to 10.5 – Sam♦ Aug 3 '09 at 10:11
Leopard in specific, but it is for sake of knowledge, so I'd like to know in general :) Got LapTop006 answer, thanks – AlberT Aug 3 '09 at 11:47

Here's the 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.3 (Panther) solution:

And here's the 10.5 (Leopard) version:

Of course it probably makes more sense to just add enough RAM that you don't swap, it's really cheap to have 4GB in any machine these days.

Thanks for the links AapTop006. I agree that RAM is cheap, I already have 4GB RAM in fact, but I'd like to be able to maximize my system as much as I can. :) – AlberT Aug 3 '09 at 11:45
