What?? Message-ID: <20010113002643.A33278@tigerfish2.my.domain> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi gang, Okay, I have downloaded 4.2, from January 10 or so. I have a ~1.7GB swap defined on da0s1b. When I attempt to mount it, 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: swapon /dev/da3s1b which was my old swap (1GB) space on a different disk. Now, you might argue that 1.7GB of swap is a bit excessive, and it probably is, but hey, so what? I have had up to 600MB of that space allocated previously (GIMP is hungry!), so I figured I would bump that with when I added another disk. 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?
