USB swap? - Mad_Sunday - 4th May, 2013 10:14 PM
Hi, this is my first post. I have succesfully installed XBian onto my RPi system's USB hard drive (320Gb) and it boots fine. I would now like to use the swap partition on that drive rather than the swap file, "sudo swapon -s" shows I'm still using /var/swapfile, how can I force xbian to use sdc3 (the swap partiton)?

sudo swapoff -a
sudo swapon /dev/sdc3

Thanks for the help. I am able to get the swap working but I'm having other issues with USB boot.
I'm sure it will be sorted soon. ;-)
