I'm not even sure that this limit still applies. However, certainly in
the 2.0.33 kernel, Linux could not use more than 128M of any single
swap partition. I'll have to pass this on to somebody more au fait
with the memory management and swap system than I am.
As far as the systems I set up are concerned though, I've yet to come
across one that needed more for what it was used for.
Best wishes from Riley.
