Swap problem on install

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

 



This may have been discussed before, if so sorry.  I have two nearly
identical machines.  Each have 512MB of ram.  During the install I let
the installer do an automatic partition each time and then checked the
customize box and adjusted the layout to my liking.  The installer
automatically chose to give me a 1GB swap file (double my ram) which is
what I would expect and wanted.  Here is the problem:
After the install I go back and look and suddenly I only have a 256MB
swap file.  This happened on both boxes.  The first time I thought I
just goofed it but this one confirmed that it was not my mistake.

Here is a quick look at my layout, see for yourself.

[dweber@xxxxxx dweber]$ df -k
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5             14405276   4962636   8710884  37% /
/dev/sda1               101089     15084     80786  16% /boot
none                    256600         0    256600   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda2             16121184     32828  15269444   1% /usr/local
/dev/sda2              2063536    161032   1797680   9% /var
/dev/hda1              3122956    164964   2799352   6% /var/www

In the installer swap was set to 1GB. . .that doesn't look like 1GB to
me.  Has anyone seen this before?  Now that my system is built does
anyone know of a cheap trick to fix it? (Something like partition magic
only for linux?)
