https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=337533 Summary: Kiwi: Disable use of swap Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: System Imaging AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: Peter.Stark@fujitsu-siemens.com QAContact: adrian@novell.com Found By: --- I'd like to be able to tell kiwi *not* to scan for disks (which it uses for swa pping). The reason: kiwi "sees" a LUN (=disk) multiple times, if the server is connected to a SAN with redundant pathes. Kiwi is using each disk's swap space. But actually it is the very same disk (seen through other FC-pathes). In my case I have plenty of RAM and no need to swap anyway. Currently I modified the functions in KIWILinuxRC.sh (searchSwapSpace and searchDiskSpace) so they simply "return". However, it would be better to have a configuration "switch" (parameter or so). regards, Peter -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's not a "simple" configuration ;) Take your time. I can work with the changes I mentioned earlier. That's why I marked it an "enhancement".
