Message-ID: <3CC71046.9090306@everbase.net> (raw)
Hello! Someone here set up a new machine with 4 Gigs of memory, and they
gave the system 8 Gigs of swap. Now, they have a problem. Apparently the
OS is only recognizing about two gigs of it.
Here is the fidsk, and meminfo stuff in that order...

I seem to remember somewhere along the line that Linux has a limit on
the swap partition size. Is this ture? I just can't seem to find a
refference to it!
Thanks!
