Is it possible to use a partition for a paging file across multiple unix distros and a Windows partition?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have a unix distro that has its owon paging file, but I want to switch over to a partition so that it can be utilized by all three systems.

Are you asking if you can configure Linux and Windows to create a page file on the same partition?

I'm wondering if I can save space by having a single page file that is used by every operating system.

No; That isn’t possible; Linux and Windows handles things differently

What about sharing a page file partition between two different Linux distros using different filesystems? Since the partition would be its own filesystem (is it supposed to be unformatted?) it would be fine, correct?
