Hi, I have read in various places that there is a swap space limit of 2GB on x86 (ia32) machines. Is this still the case? What happens if you define a swap space larger than 2GB? Will it just not address it? I have set 4GB as the swap for a machine that has 2GB of physical memory (dual Opteron running Debian Woody 3.0, 2.4.26 kernel, 32-bit), and it shows all 4GB of swap. I am moving the OS to a new set of disks and have a chance to re-define swap, so should I go for 2 x 2GB swap partitions (they're on the same spindle anyway), or should I just use 4GB, or would 2GB suffice? I have not been able to find much on the partitionong guides on the Net or in books that gives a strong indication or is up to date.
