can you set the swap file up so it calculates its maximum sized based on disk size ? 10-15% should be big enough under most circumstances.On 2012-08-30 10:39 am, kallisti5 wrote:I installed the R1A4 RC (hrevr1alpha4-44576) on my beefy laptop with lots of memory this morning and ran across this bug: https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7742 It sounds like swap is double the ram by default... but on these 8-16GB systems, the swap file grows larger then the available free space causing issues.Confirmed...http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/system/kernel/vm/VMAnonymousCache.cpp#n1343Is there a swap setting? Init it. Does the swap setting not exist? size = (off_t)vm_page_num_pages() * B_PAGE_SIZE * 2; There are several issues with this:* The swap space can be very large without taking into account the filesystem size * The automatically chosen size is never written anywhere so the swap preference panelisn't aware of it.I'm seeing if there is a logical way to fix this without breaking anything :)-- Alex
