Hello list, i know what btrfs don''t support swap files. I read arch wiki and when i reading about systemd addon for auto create swapfile on btrfs, i invent the way, how create and using swap file, just see following sh code: swapfile=$(losetup -f) #free loop device truncate -s 8G /swap #create 8G sparse swap file losetup $swapfile /swap #mount file to loop mkswap $swapfile swapon $swapfile i just adding this to rc.local and th...

Hello I apologise for sending this in in no particular format, but I do not have "sendbug" on my machine. I have just downloaded openssh-2.3.0p1 for installation on my Slackware 3.4 Linux OS (running on a Compaq Armada 1540DM laptop with a 150 MHz Pentium). As instructed, I also obtained and installed zlib-1.1.3 and openssl-0.9.6. Both unpacked, compiled, and installed without apparent

...practice in creating PVm domU''s - with or without swap? >From the admin point of view, especially in HA environment it is temptating not to have a seperate swap partition. Could it be performance issue if swapping to swap-file insted of swap-partition? What about pure swapless- no swapfile, no swap-partition?

Hi ALL, I have a harddisk with 3 primary partitions and one extended partitions. Under extented partions , there are 15 partions. Whole hard disk has been partitioned in a standard way, (i.e NOT LVM) It has 2GB ram. swap is also 2GB. Now I want to extend this swap to 4 GB. If I use dd coomand and create a file with 2GB, Will I be able to extend the swap witn swapon commnad? How can I achive

...first, reducing each machine to only having 32mb of ram, and secondly, on the host, creating a MASSIVE swap file (1gbyte), making a MASSIVE shmfs/tmpfs partition (1gbyte) and then creating swap files in the tmpfs partition!!! the reasoning behind doing this is quite straightforward: by placing the swapfiles in a tmpfs, presumably then when one of the guest OSes requires some memory, then RAM on the host OS will be used until such time as the amount of RAM requested exceeds the host OSes physical memory, and then it will go into swap-space. this is presumed to be infinitely better than forcing the sw...

Dear all, I run the 64 bit version of R under ubuntu 8.10. I have a dual core machine with 5 GB RAM. Further, I increased virtual memory with a swapfile to 90 GB. If I run a program which uses large matrixes, I get the following error message: "Error in matrix: too many elements specified". Is there a possibility to increase the possible size of a matrix? Many thanks and best wishes, Diego [[alternative HT...

...SPACE_LIMIT ((void *)0x7fff0000) /* top of the user address space */ with # define ADDRESS_SPACE_LIMIT 0 /* no limit needed on other platforms */ # define USER_SPACE_LIMIT 0 /* no limit needed on other platforms */ When I compile something without this patch, Wine seems to use the Linux swapfile before it uses the 1GB Wine reserves for Linux. But, when I use this patch, Wine seems to go into the 1GB reserved for Linux and corrupts what I'm trying to compile. With this patch, is there a way to keep Windows programs from using the 1GB reserved for Linux, and using the swapfile instead?

Oops - just realized that there aren''t accessors for namespace, swapfile, size, etc. Should we add them? Or don''t we want to because then it might become confusing as to whether those values were "shared"?

I have followed the procedure on the Centos page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CentOS5ConvertToRAID My setup is slightly different. I am using two partitions, / and /home. I have setup swap as a file, /home/swapfile. My hard drives are 500Gig sda and sdb. In modifying the instructions for initializing sdb I have: used /dev/md0 for / (sdb1) used /dev/md1 for /home (sdb2) In section 3.6 The line: mount /dev/RaidSys/Root /mnt/root.new was changed to mount /dev/md0 /mnt/root.new Everything seems to go well...
