USB swap?
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)?

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/setting_up_swap.html (so remove the /var/swapfile from /etc/fstab and replaced it by your USB harddrive)

RE: USB swap?
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. ;-) Pete |
