Hello,
Recently installed opensuse but made a mistake while installation. I've installed without any swap partition. So the system is sluggish.
I understand you have 2 GB of ram, so you do not _need_ swap, nor will be your system slow because of that. If you feel your system is slow, investigate the reasons.
Went to google and found out this command will create a 512 MB file and use it as a swap:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1k count=524288 && mkswap /swapfile && sync && swapon /swapfile
Question is, As My ram is 2 GB I need a swap partition of at least 4 GB (It is stated on that site). What'll be the necessary changes to turn that 512 MB into 4GB file?
You not _need_ any swap at all. Plus the 2X rule is for Windows (3.x), not Linux. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
