Cannot get maxswap boot parameter to work.

[nekatreven]

Hello,

I am installing pve 1.5 and I cannot get the maxswap parameter to work. maxroot works fine. I've tried switching the order that I am typing them but it does no good...swap stays stuck at 15gb.

So far I have done (without quotes of course):

"linux maxroot=10 maxswap=5"

and

"linux maxswap=5 maxroot=10"

but in both cases root is modified and swap is left alone.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Mark

Well I took a jog through the install .iso looking for instances of the word maxroot and found what I was looking for. I was hoping I'd find some plain-text string inside the innards of the installer and that the swap parameter would be there too...but alas...it was the Release notes.

- installer: show harddrive labels and size, added '[B]swapsize[/B]'
     and 'maxroot' boot parameters.

So (at least in the 1.5 disc I have)...the parameter is not maxswap but is instead swapsize. I will go make a note on all the posts I can find that have it wrong (3 to 5).
