Title: Swapfile Problems
Post by: perthie on September 08, 2009, 09:15:54 PM

I'm having some troubles with swapfiles.

1. The Swapfile Tool in the control panel doesn't work. However if I run it from a terminal with

Code: [Select]

sudo swapfile it does create a swapfile.

2. I can't get the boot argument "swapfile=hdxy" to detect a valid swapfile.

Indeed, sudo needed in the GUI. Found. Fixed. Thanks for reporting.
Try the boot code dosswapfile=hdxy   The F2 boot screen needs adjusting as well.

OK. I have dropped dosswapfile, as it should be swapfile to be consistent,
I have tested it with autoscan as well as specified. Working now for next cut.
Thanks again for the report.
