Anybody know the maximum size of a *single* swap partition for linux? I am running SuSE 8.0 and I normally create my linux partitions with Partition magic from the windoze side. For some reason, Partition Magic will not format a swap partition greater than about 2G.
I'd hate to create a bunch of 2G partitions to get what I want.
Not so long ago it used to be: 'the swap partition should not be larger than the amount of RAM though not larger than 128MB', since then I've seen a lot of other theories. But I've never heard of a swap partition as big as 2GB, looks interesting though...:-) Cheers, HÖ -- ~~~~ http://www.sacred-eagle.com/ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ Gnupg signature ID 83AC4814 ~~~~~
