Linux cannot use swap bigger then 460Mb ?

Maybe you can find this useful: Adrian Bridgett wrote: Linux can per default only handle swap-partitions = 128 MB The latest 2.1 kernels raise this to just shy of 2GB :-) You will need a new version of util-linux which I am about to do an NMU of - util-linux-2.9e-0.1 will be the name.
