FLASH disk as swap

[Marco Savo]

Thanks for the info.
I had to find the time for read all the mails.
I also found some useful info on internet:

I'm working on an embedded router using openwrt. This router has an
internal Nand flash of 1 GB.
I remembered, using openwrt and asterisk on an asus 500 gl, and using
an usb stick as storage and linux swap. So I was just curious if I
could do the same here, and if was necessary. I guess in my case is
not applicable, this is a cheap flash and I think has 100 thousand
writing cycle. ( so from your answers this is not suitable, right?)
Well, I'm not just curious. In some cases I had the OOM killer going on.
I also improved a little bit with this:

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
 *******To free pagecache, dentries and inodes: This is a
non-destructive operation and will only free things that are
completely unused ************
