#1746: Default swap file size doesn't enable Virtual Memory ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: andreasf | Owner: leavengood Type: bug | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Preferences/VirtualMemory | Version: R1/pre-alpha1 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Has a Patch: 1 Platform: x86 | Blocking: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by hamish): You're welcome. That latest patch makes some changes suggested as by scottmc in the Google Code-In task for this bug. The changes aren't all bug-fixes in the purest sense, but I believe they improve functionality. Here's the details on what's changed, as copied from the Google page: > The size slider is now disabled when the checkbox is unticked. An error message is now given when there's no space for a swap file, and the UI is disabled accordingly. Cleaned up some redundant code. There's also a bug whereby pressing the "defaults" button can force a swap size which is greater than the free space available (and also exceeds the range of the slider). Under this case, what should the swap size be set to instead? Perhaps half the available space? -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/1746#comment:10> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
