Hi I've managed without a swap partition until now, but I'm trying to build open office and the build is failing at the last minute due to lack of memory. So now I've made a swap partition of 2 gig and run mkswap. I've also amended the fstab. All seems fine until I run swapon -a which returns "Function not implemented".
I've tried making a swap file rather than a partition but I get the same output. If I reboot to run the script at boot-time I can see the same output. I've tried various sizes of swap -- no difference. Could it be a udev problem? I upgraded to udev-124 some time ago but everything else works fine. Running "free -m" shows swap but with all zeros, of course. Maybe "swapon" is corrupted -- I just don't know. I have no /proc/swaps file. When is this generated? I was wondering whether swap has to be enabled in the kernel but I can find no reference to it in the kernel .config. I'd be really grateful for some help as I'm right at the final stage of my BLFS build.
