The 1G is the partition size set for /dev/xvdc1 Since /dev/xvdc is 10G in size and only 1G is allocated to swap, an alternative (better?) would be to use that space. /sbin/swapoff -a /sbin/parted /dev/xvdc rm 1 /sbin/parted /dev/xvdc mkpart primary 0 10G -s /sbin/swapoff -a /sbin/mkswap /dev/xvdc1 /sbin/swapon -a You can put this directly in to /rw/config/rc.local and it will reprovision swap on boot, with little effect on boot time. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
