How to swap fragment in viewpager?

Linux swap limits

• I have been trying to figure out the version of Redhat or Mandrake that would allow me to have the maximum swap space, along with the maximum single swap partition size limit. I am currently using Redhat 7.2, which allows me a single swap partition size limit of 2Gb, and I am using 6 such 2Gb partitions. However, my applications do not seem to use all the available memory. This would not be a problem, except that they sometimes crash due to a lack of memory! I used to use Mandrake 8.0 earlier, and I used to have a single 6 Gb swap partition. I am not sure it was actually using 6 Gb of swap, but Mandrake did not gripe when I was setting up the swap. I couldn't do the same with Redhat 7.2 because of the 2 Gb swap limit. I do not care about anything else about the OS's. My only concern is the maximum possible available swap, with the maximum single swap partition size limit. Any help would be much appreciated!

• Answer:

  RedHat 7.2 limits you to creating a swap partition of maximum 2 GB during install. However, after the installation is complete, you can increase the swap partition size as per your requirements. Here is a post in the RedHat mailing list that outlines the steps you must take inorder to increase the size of your swap partition. Though the poster refers to the IA64 version of RedHat 7.2, the instructions should work on all RedHat versions. - When will we have the larger swap partition than 2GB? (use parted!) From: Murakami Hiroshi ( http://www.redhat.com/mailing-lists/ia64-list/msg02116.html ) The above should help you increase your swap file size. However, unless you are running a server or a large number of programs at the same time, you should not require such large swap space. If most of the time your apps run file, giving "out of memory" errors only infrequently, then the problem is most likely with that application. Perhaps a memory leak? Make sure that you have updated your application to the newest version available. You can download the latest RPMs from RedHat at http://www.redhat.com/apps/download/ I dont want to post this as an answer until you have successfully verified this technique.
