This is kludgy but allows a LiveCD to get some more swap space. The
proper solution is to get full extended partition support and there
is a
project underway to get that. Once that is available a simple swap -a
<swaplow> <swaplen> can be used to avoid overwriting the initial page
of the Linux swap in all cases (primary and extended).
If we can't make "swap -a <device>" work then we're not doing it
right. Nobody should ever be asked to get numbers like swaplow and
swaplen right.
Yes. The problem is with Linux which cannot tolerate a corrupted swap
header whereas Solaris simply regenerates it. The swaplow, swaplen
figures can be, and are auto-generated presently in BeleniX.
