It is the size in KB (for 32GB it is set to 33554432). kern.maxswzone: Maximum memory for swap metadata Best regards, Holger -- Holger Kipp Diplom-Mathematiker Senior Consultant Tel. : +49 30 436 58 114 Fax. : +49 30 436 58 214 Mobil: +49 178 36 58 114 Email: holger.kipp@alogis.com alogis AG Alt-Moabit 90b D-10559 Berlin web : http://www.alogis.com ---------------------------------------------------------- alogis AG Sitz/Registergericht: Berlin/AG Charlottenburg, HRB 71484 Vorstand: Arne Friedrichs, Joern Samuelson Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Reinhard Mielke
