SuSE Linux 6.4 Installation/Configuration book, page 62:

Linux can normally only handle 128 MB swap partitions, but can handle eight of these.

The citation is a little bit incomplete: these are the numbers for kernel 2.0.xx. And it continues: For the 2.2.xx kernel the limit of the swap partition is 2~GB

I believe that limitation was removed long ago but wasn't removed from the manual.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll remove this statement since by now it seems to cause more harm than good :) -- Linux Frechet 2.2.14 #1 Fri Mar 17 00:27:51 GMT 2000 i686 unknown 10:28am up 22 days, 17:56, 12 users, load average: 0.23, 0.35, 0.22 work : ke@suse.de Karl Eichwalder home : keichwa@gmx.net -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
