Try adding: vm.swappiness=10 to /etc/sysctl.conf (create it if necessary) man sysctl man sysctl.conf -----Original Message----- From: Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) [mailto:andreil1@starlett.lv] Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 1:22 PM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SLE] swappiness Setting is not Saved Between Reboots Hi, I have SuSE 9.1 Linux PC which is used for video purposes. It requires value of swappiness to be very low in order to avoid video flickering. I have set swappiness with "echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness". However, after reboot it is back to 60 (echo `cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness`). Anyone knows how to make this change permanent? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). ************************************************ ***   with best regards ***   Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) ***   Mac, Linux, DTP, Programming Web Site *** ***   http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ ************************************************ -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
