Is it possible to change the swap size with out re-installing the system? Looking at the dd command but don't really know what to expect. Many thanks for your help -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner at caspercollege.edu and is believed to be clean.

when performing a live migration i know the contents of the ram is copied over two the new xen server, but how about the contents of the swap partition. currently I have the swap partition in a seperate loopback file from the root partition. if i want to do a live migration, do i have to give the new server access to the swap partition file along with the root partition file? of can i just

Hi Daniel, Disclaimer: Haven't read the proposal yet. > TL;DR: We're planning to define GlobalISel Combine Rules using MIR syntax with a few bits glued on to interface with the algorithm and escape into C++ when we need to. Eventually, ISel rules may follow suit. I would rather avoid adding a dependency on yet another tablegen backend to the project unless we are confident it is

Hi all, I used to use centos 4.5 on an AMD 4800+ with 2GIG ram. Now I use centos 5.1 on AMD 6400+ with 4GIG RAM. The system responsiveness is different between the two. I noticed that centos 5.1 seems to be swapping programs out of memory at times resulting in slowness (perceived by me). I played with swappiness (/proc/sys/vm/) setting to 10, then 1 then 0. Still resulted in the same perceived

I tried to create some swap files in /dev directory for my desktop. the dd and mkswap were ok. but when I try to swapon it, i get this: # swapon /dev/myswap swapon: /dev/myswap: Invalid argument but when I mv the file to some other directory like /mnt or /, the swapon works. could sb. tell me why? -- Tang Jianwei

Hi. I want to make a snapshot from a logical volume and noticed that there must be enough free disk space in the volume group. Actually there is no free disk space left. How do i shrink online /var without losing any data or restore from backup? I do not have physical access to the server.

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

I use live migration with xen (stable) domain on NFS root filesystem. I do not understand how to setup and migrating swap space in xen for live migration. two VBD as swap disk? Swap space on NFS??

I know this is more of a general unix question, but the thread about the last kernel update, and memory usage got me to looking and thinking. Given a system with 2 Gb of memory, and at peak usage, top reports considerably less than the 2 gig amount in use, as well as system monitoring that never shows all available memory used, what would happen if you just turned swap off, and let memory

Hey Listee's I have a CentOS server with 2GB of ram and a swap drive of 4GB; swapon -a shows my swap drive as 4GB with only about 350 bytes in use (which is fine as my server idles with about 350-400MB ram usage so no swap should be in use. However my one and only swap drive had a priority of -1. I had read that the swap drive priority doesn't matter too much because I only have one swap

Hello, I'm in a slightly unusual situation and I'd really appreciate some advice. I installed CentOS 5.2 on a server about a month ago. Today I happened to check the 'free' command and noticed that the Swap line reads as follows: Swap: 0 0 0 I'm pretty certain that when I installed the OS and created a custom partition table, that I defined a

I am running Xen 3.0.1 with Gentoo for Dom0 and when I create a DomU with Debian, the kernel or system does not seem to recognize the volume I have created for swap on the DomU and will not mount it during boot or after. here is the disk section of the xen config for the DomU: disk = [ ''phy:xen-disks/disk-root,hda1,w'',''phy:xen-disks/disk-swap,hda2,w'' ]

At home I have CentOS 4.4 running on a Compaq Presario with an ATI Radeon 200G video chipset. Naturally, the linux driver support ATI offers are pretty crappy, thus many postings to many web sites on problems and possible resolutions. I forget where, and natually I didn't bookmark it, but there was one web site that provided the exact working solution. From then on, my video support

Hi all, I'm not sure if I should try wine-devel, but I'll throw it out here first. I'm looking into some of the strange issues with FoxPro5, and what I thought were MDI issues. These issues don't exist prior to June 2000, and are basically known regressions. I did a trace (cvs as of today 2/19/2002): wine --debugmsg +win,+event,+x11 vfp.exe to see what was happening, and I

When I first installed my CentOS system the machine had only 1 GB. the swap memory was set to 2 GB Now the machine has 4 GB but swap is still 2 GB. With that much memory maybe it doesn't matter, but it sure looks odd. Is there any way to change it? Thanks, John -- John J.

I just upgraded a blade server via rsync from another server. Rebuilt the initrd. It boots fine... except that it won't turn on the swap partition. Several times, I've made sure swap was off, then mkswap -L SWAP-sda3 /dev/sda3, but when I do swapon -L SWAP-sda3, it complains it can't find the device for the label. The only thing I find while googling, other than redoing what I've

There is no need. Lowering is fine, in the same way that enums or typedefs are currently lowered to llvm integer types. > some llvm extensions required to mapping

In order to run some performance tests on optimization tools, I want to be able to avoid the use of swap memory. In *nix systems, at least Linux ones, I can issue a 'sudo swapoff -a' command and use just the RAM available. If I don't do this, at some point swap will be used, the disk goes ballistic and the machine is unresponsive because it is thrashing data to the swap. I

To install Oracle Database 10g, I need to increase the swap memory to 1004 MB.

I'm not sure what gave me this idea, but I decided to comment out the swap partition in /etc/fstab and reboot my laptop. I did not run swapoff directly at any time. I'm running more things now than I would ever dream of to hammer my 500MB of memory, but I still notice NO slowdown. This is the best desktop experience I've ever had for any OS on any hardware!
