What I'd note here is that the file has discontinuities, so this file is probably not appropriate for doing suspends to swap. At a quick guess, you probably need to either: 1) set up a proper swap PARTITION. (e.g. remove the current swap file, shrink the /var (or /, as the case may be) partition by that much, and then use the newly freed space to create a proper partition.) I believe that you can use qtparted to do the work of shrinking the partition for you. You might want to download a live-CD linux (like Knoppix, or the Ubuntu live CD) so that you can do the resize without having to worry about the partition being in use. or 2) Find a program that will allow you to allocate a file as one contiguous chunk (nothing off the top of my head). then allocate the swap file using that, On 7/23/07, Stephen Samuel <darkonc@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
