What do you mean "30mb wouldn't work"? I put a 32meg swapFILE on the 64meg mmc I received and it worked fine (/proc/meminfo and /proc/swaps showed swap usage, and I could get numerous things running with out problems. Now I'm trying to partition a 512meg MMC into two partitions, and neither 128meg nor 64meg of swap as a dedicated partition (/dev/mmcblk0p2) works. As soon as I issue swap on, the "low on memory, close some applications" window pops up. I can immediately exit the shell, but if I wait too long, I start getting "sh: can't fork" (a usual OOM sign). If I can get back to the home interface, I can't do anything and it keeps telling me "Not enough memory" or some such. It did hardcrash, auto-reboot at one point also (I assume an OOM condition). Is there some upper limit on the size of the allowed swap file on this arch? I could get 32meg to work, but you say you couldn't get 30? I swear I saw something about the max size of the swap file for the 770, but I can't find it now. -- Andy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
