Hi all,
I have Nokia 770 with OS 2006 on it. I've been trying to extend my
memory card to be used as additional virtual memory. I used Control
panel->Memory->Virtual (tag). When I choose either of sizes offered
(from 8 MB to 32 MB in my case) and press 'OK' it displays an error
window 'Unable to create virtual memory'. What might be wrong here? And
also, what this built-in option actually does? Is it analogical to
'swapon/swapoff' terminal command and, thus, the screenshot applet? Do I
have to create manually a swap file before using control
panel/screenshot applet?
My memory card has the size of 64 MB. It is currently 38% used and the
rest of it is free. There is only one default partition.
My second question is whether to use swap file or partition? Did I
understand correctly (http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowTo_CreateSwap) that
for OS 2006 there are basically NO arguments for using a swap partition
rather than a swap file on the memory card? The only one I find is that
a swap partition will be available when the Nokia 770 is connected via
USB to a PC. Otherwise the OS 2006 automatically does swapon/swapoff
upon USB connection/card ejection, so the device will not crash if we
forget to do it manually.
