Public bug reported:
I had Ubunto 6.0.6 running OK. I decided to upgrade to 7.04, so I
installed it normally. It run OK, but made created a too small swap file
( 256) . At some point, after using the 7.04 normally for a while I got
amessage "swap file 100% full". I tried rebooting and than I could nnot
log in anymore as user: GDP cannot write to disk, disk is full.
Mu disk had 20MB empty space at that point, but it seems Ubuntu 6.0.6,
which was note deleted, was eating up all disk space. Everything
crashed, 7.04 would not re-install at all.
Please find a way to enabel us to easily INCREASE the swap file on
demand. I had 20MB of free space and the computer crashed completely for
"lack of swap file space".
Why setup created a 256Kb swap file in a disk with 20MB free space ?
