Hi, i want to increase my swap space in my Debian 5.0 server. And, after googling i found that, there is something called "creating swap *file"* to increase swap space. So, i followed that in my test machine to increase 512 Megabyte with 2 Giga swap space. So, what i did:
commands: * dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=512k count=1024 mkswap /swap chmod 0600 /swap swapon /swap * Also included this line in /etc/fstab: * /swap swap swap defaults 0 0* And, at last : *free -m *After everything swapon -s gave me the result: Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda6 partition 1967920 0 -1 /swap file 524280 0 -2 *Now, my question is: does it actually increased my swap space?* -- Best, Zico _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
