Does the 2gb limit on swap filesystem still apply? Or did I get lost in kernel 2.2 days?
No, I have a 6 GiB swap.
Sorry, I worded my question poorly. I know you can make more than 2GB, I have several servers with 4GB.
What I meant is is the size of a single swap partition still limited to 2GB?
Reason I'm asking is that I want to get suspend (to ram and to disc) working on my notebook, which has 2GB RAM, so I need at least 2GB swap.
You can have multiple swap partitions and even use swap files.
This is probably picky. But I think the subject line for this discussion is incorrect. Swap is not a filesystem. It does take a partition but it is raw disk storage not a filesystem as far as I know.
