Hi, this is a bug already fixed in newer versions of dphys-swapfile, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564466. The version in Maverick is already a fixed one. Maybe that fix should be backported to Lucid...
The only difference between the above mentioned bug report in Debian from nearly a year ago and this one is that /proc/kcore has now a zero size instead of an insanely huge size. I regard the case with a zero size kcore as way less critical than the one which fills up your hard drive. ** Changed in: dphys-swapfile (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #564466 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564466 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706764 Title: dphys-swapfile sets incorrect swap size -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
