That is a known kernel bug that affected (IIRC) kernels 2.2.12-2.2.16
but is fixed in kernel 2.2.17 and later. 2.2.18 is current and you can

I think you are right nate. When I started with Linux a couple years
ago, the 2.0 series was current (like 2.0.36 or something). It was
then that I read in a how-to that even if you make a really big swap
partition, only 128MB would be used.
Last night I tried to confirm this with my current 2.

Initially I installed a slink on this box, and at the
time I had 64 MB of RAM however I was unable to make a
swap partition of 128 MB. I later added another 64 MB
of RAM. I tried to resize my /home partition but

did you install this on debian 2.1? or anything using the 2.0 kernel?
from what i remember this was a kernel 2.0 limitation. 124MB

Also, I had read in a How-To that Linux wouldn't use more than 128MB
of swap in a single partition. Before I relayed that info, I though I
would test it (I had only recently expanded my swa
