: Hi gang,

: Okay, I have downloaded 4.2, from January 10 or so. I have

: however, I am told:
:
:exceeded maximum of 3355443 blocks per swap unit

: Hmmm. I can't find anything about this in the archives, nor am
: I able to:
The only thing that can cause this is if you have configured an
absurdly large NSWAPDEV.
: I am concerned, however, as to why I can't mount my previous
: swap area on a different disk. Has something changed to limit the
: swap space you can create?

A sanity check was put in the code to ensure that the internal
bitmap tree could not overflow.
The default NSWAPDEV is 4 (up to 4 swap devices). The block
limitation is (2GB / 16 / NSWAPDEV) 512 byte blocks, or:
2GB / 16 / NSWAPDEV * 512.
If NSWAPPDEV is 4, each swap parition can theoretically be up to 17 GB
in size.
