Hello,
on a low voltage cpu system I can see that the creation of an 1 GB swap
file can take several minutes. (The file-system is on SD-card which
write about 6-7 MB/s).
As I see fallocate can do this job much faster, so why you don't use this?
fallocate is also part of the util-linux package wh

According to the Google study (about hdd failures) a bad result from
S.M.A.R.T. is almost always bad, but a good result doesn't mean the hdd
is ok.

If
hi list,
starting up lenny, my machine hanged on 'activating swapfile swap' (or
something like that)
starting up my machine a second and third time did not give any trouble
at all.
is there a generally known reason for a computerstart hanging on
activating a swapfile?
in all tho

Hi all,
Hope you enjoyed the thanksgiving.
I have a tiny problem about my debian/sid. When I boot my debian, it
hangs at activating swapfile swap ...done.
Here is what I get from the screen:
Mounting local filesystems ... done
Activating swapfile swap .. done
It just hangs here. Then I press

Hello,
today i created a swapfile instead of a partition, because i think
it's more dynamic. I only see advantages using a swapfile. So first of
all, I'd like to know about disadvantages, because almost everybody
uses a swap partition. And finally I need to know what to change on my

There isn't one !!!. (You can manually set the file to a zero/small size

Hi,
It seems that this mailing list is not only talking about Debian
specifics but also Linux in general, so I have questions on Linux
netboot.
Some days ago I installed several Linux clients with no harddisk to boot
from a server. The clients had 32MB RAM; this could be quite a lot, but

my question is this: i'm soon to be getting more ram, and i was
wondering if there's a way to resize my swap to make use of it. i have
16 ram now, and my swap partition is about 32 megs. is it possible to
make it bigger after i move up to 32-48 ram without messing with
partitions again? i'm a relat

Hi,
I was wondering whether there are any benefits to using a swap partition
as opposed to using a swap file.
I am running debian 1.3 on a system with relatively low resources (200

But, today I found out about mkswap and ho
