I don't think so, my swap partition: Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda2 27 27 59 66528 82 Linux swap More than 16MB, the 16MB limit is an very old limit, I don't remember since what version is no limit, but I think that is previous to the 2.0.0 kernel.
- From the mkswap man page:
As each block is 1kB large, the swap area in this example could have a size that is anywhere in the range from 40kB up to 127.6875MB.
The man page is from Linus Torvalds, Linux 1.0 and tje date 8 February 1995.
Then This is not a problem. With respect at the rests of problems, I'm sorry but don't know the solution.
Cheers, Juan Quintela.
