Title: Swap load on startup?
Post by: jason123 on March 15, 2004, 05:05:02 am

Hey all,

I remember seeing someplace a script to load swap files on startup well, i couldn\'t find it so i decided to ask the ZUG.  How do i load the swap on startup?

I have three swaps -- on /mnt/card/swapfile
                                    /mnt/cf/swapfile
and one in intrnal rom wherever the Memorymanager applet puts it


Suggestions/comments?

Add them to /etc/fstab and moun them all with swapon -a

You can out the swapon -a command in any rc file that is mounted at boot time but rc.local seems best.

Add the following to /etc/fstab

/mnt/cf/swapfile swap swap defaults

for each of your swap file.

You can pick out the deatails you need here:

You can also grab a copy of my /etc/initd.d/swap script here:

Let me know if stuff needs clarifying.

I\'m already lost ...  umm ... yeah I\'ve never turned a swap on from the command line so i don\'t know thee commands for it -- i stuck \"swapon -a /mnt/cf/swapfile\" into my rc.local ...  I stuck \"/mnt/cf/swapfile swap swap defaults\"  into my /etc/fstab as well but umm nothing really happened so i\'m confused.

Ahh, looks like you need to uncomment thel ines in rc or rc.init that turn on rc.local - it\'s not used by default (at least not on the C760).

Take a look at the lniks havoc posted they will do what you want.
