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?
No, it's not.
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 don't need it that large in most cases since buffers are not saved, so run free to check how large it should really be... Ok, there might be cases where you then cannot suspend but with 2 GB RAM I doubt this will happen, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
