Donīt have swap partition
I have installed Suse 9.0 in my labtop Gericom.
When i did, Yast didnīt create the swap partition. Is this bad for my sytem now? If is this so, what could I do to fix it? |
No it's not bad. You can create your own. You need a partitioning program and then you can create the partition (I think twice your RAM is the right size) and make it linux swap file system. Then edit your /etc/fstab file to include it.

If you have HEAPS of RAM (>= 512MB) and don't
try to do massive things the lack of a swapper may go un-noticed ... if not you may find that applications randomly die on you. Solution is to a) re-partition or b) create a special file in the file-system (works but makes swapping slower) e.g. Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/swapper bs=1024 count=500000 You'd then want to edit /etc/fstab to point to that file, too. Cheers, Tink |
In fact, you're not obligated to have one. BTW Swap should be max 512MB if you're not doing heavy graphic processing.
