I'm trying to setup a simple swapfile, using the commands shown below.
I'm having trouble with swapon. I've read some previous posting regarding
blocksize, but I've not been able to determine if this is an issue requiring a
fix. Should this be expected with BusyBox version 1.7.1, ppc32 ? I've tried
various blocksizes, but still the hole issue remains.
~ $ cd /var/tmp/
/var/tmp $ dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1M count=20
20+0 records in
20+0 records out
/var/tmp $ ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 20971520 Jan 2 04:51 swapfile
/var/tmp $ mkswap swapfile
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 20967424 bytes
/var/tmp $ swapon swapfile
swapon: swapfile has holes
swapon: swapfile: Invalid argument
/var/tmp $ swapon -help
swapon: invalid option -- h
BusyBox v1.7.1 (2007-10-20 05:29:18 CEST) multi-call binary
Usage: swapon [-a] [DEVICE]
Start swapping virtual memory pages on DEVICE
Options:
-a Start swapping on all swap devices
/var/tmp $
Thanks for your time,
Jon.
