swapfile: swap allocation cycle if nonrot Though attempting to find free clusters (Andrea), swap allocation has always restarted its searches from the beginning of the swap area (sct), to reduce seek times between swap pages, by not scattering them all over the partition. But on a solidstate swap device, seeks are cheap, and block remapping to level the wear may be limited by zones: in that case it's better to cycle around the whole partition.
