I created a file called "swapdisk" using dd that read from /dev/zero and
was forty-eight megabytes. In my rc.local, I added the following lines:
losetup /dev/loop7 /usr/local/etc/swapdisk
swapon /dev/loop7
This worked fine under 2.0.xx. However, since I began using 2.1.xx, I
found I was hard locked all the time. I noticed that the message telling
me the swapdisk existed did not appear before the crash, so I changed it
to:
swapon /usr/local/etc/swapdisk
This worked fine. Under 2.0.xx, I could do both to get a 96 megabyte
swapdisk. However, any use of losetup/swapon as I did under 2.1.xx seems
to crash it. I have tried 2.1.94 through 2.1.99.
Anyone out there willing to get this fixed up before 2.2.0 gets out?
