Danke für eure Hilfe Was ich gemacht habe (Danke, an nleroy@cs.wisc.edu von der englischen list): Create a "swap file" in your f/s and swap to it. This is pretty easy and can be done without rebooting, etc. The main limitation is that it'll be a little bit slower because you'll have the filesystem overhead in your swaps, so you'll want to set it at a lower priority. IIRC, the steps are something like this: BTW, if you choose to do this, you'll have to add the swapfile to your /etc/fstab to have it swap to it at bootup. # dd if=/dev/zero of=<swapfile> bs=1024k count=<size-in-megs> # mkswap <swapfile> # swapon -p <priority> <swapfile> Here's a quick example setting up a 10m swap (just for illustration)
talon:~ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swapfile bs=1024k count=10 10+0 records in 10+0 records out talon:~ # mkswap /home/swapfile Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 10481 kB talon:~ # swapon -p 100 /home/swapfile talon:~ # cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/hda7 partition 1572944 12 42 /home/swapfile file 10232 0 100
