I quickly downloaded and built BusyBox v1.10.0. But it still gave the same
"hole" problem. See below.
Are there any debug flags I can turn on ? I'll start going through the
documentation. I'm relatively new to BusyBox, and I'm wondering if I'm just
missing something out required to create a swapfile.
I made BusyBox using the following commands:
make defconfig
export ARCH=powerpc
export CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_6xx-
PATH=$PATH:/home/jm0069/ws/MCU/MCU_dev/MCU/Tools/ELDK/usr/bin/
make
/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 08:31 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
BusyBox v1.10.0 (2008-03-26 17:58:17 CET) multi-call binary
Usage: swapon [-a] [DEVICE]
Start swapping on DEVICE
Options:
-a Start swapping on all swap devices
/var/tmp $

Can you reproduce this with the current release (1.10.0) or, even better, with
svn trunk?
TIA,
