Hi guys,
Does the 2gb limit on swap filesystem still apply? Or did I get lost in kernel 2.2 days?
According to: http://www.lissot.net/partition/partition-04.html#SwapSize the limit is architecture-dependent, but is "officially" 2GB on i386, with this note to qualify "officially": "max swap size: With kernel 2.4, the limit is 64 swap spaces at a maximum of 64Gb each, although this is not reflected in the man page for mkswap. With the 64 bit opteron on the 2.6 kernel, 128 swap areas are permitted, each a whopping 16 Tb!" -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
