One other thing I've noticed is swap can be a maximum of 2 GB. I previously had 8 and until I wiped the disk, I was able to select that size. mkswap --help
Usage: mkswap [options] device [size]
Set up a Linux swap area.
Options: -c, --check check bad blocks before creating the swap area -f, --force allow swap size area be larger than device -p, --pagesize SIZE specify page size in bytes -L, --label LABEL specify label -v, --swapversion NUM specify swap-space version number -U, --uuid UUID specify the uuid to use -h, --help display this help -V, --version display version
For more details see mkswap(8).
I have always used the partitioner during install. This is the first time I've seen it limit the partition size like this.
I never bother with swap partitions any more. I just use a file for swap space.
I did that also, but now just add enough ram to not need it :) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
