Re: How to inscrease size of swap

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I thought you could have more than one swap partition, with the maximum
size of any swap being 2Gb.  So, why not skip the risky "parted" and add
another swap drive?  Format it as swap, add it to /etc/fstab and when
the system boots, it should find it listed in fstab and add it to the
swap space.

Then again, it is always better to never need swap.  I run my servers
with 2Gb of swap and I try to keep 0 bytes of it used.  RAM is cheaper
than the major performance hit of swap thrashing.

My $0.02.

parted will resize a partition.
