Swapfile for memory extention
Posted: 14 Feb 2014, 15:43
Hi!
I want to "extend" the RAM's amount for my system through a swapfile, and I have some questions about the right configuration.
I'm working with Porteus 2.1 32bit installed at an external HDD. The primary partition is ext4, with 150 GB of space. At a extended partition I have a 32GB ext4 space for swapfile; another ext4 partition for documents and a fat32 partition for MS Windows.
My questions:

My questions:
- 1.- Will the swapfile work on the extended partition?
2.- I want that Porteus use as much as possible of the 32 GB reserved on the partition for swap. Do I have to "activate" the swapfile through a cheatcode or a script file?
