Swap Jaguar....

[Hoozone]

Hi

I have exactely the same problem with the Os X 2 [jaguar] Swap.

But , i've tried Swapcop (i prefer manually... but) and it appears to work if you don't edit the etc/rc and fstab. But it's impossible to know what it do !!! and it impossible to configure your size of partition !!!

if anyone have this secret to replace and config manually the swap of Os x.... Please post a message...

thanx

You do not need to edit the rc file, but you need to create a partition to use as swappartition.
in fstab insert a line looking like this:
LABEL=vm /private/var/vm hfs rw 1 2

Entrys separated by tabs.
If your swap volume is in ufs format just change the hfs entry to ufs.

to rename your swap partition to "vm" write this in terminal:
disktool -n <device> vm

You can get the device name by typing "mount" in terminal.

If you don't wan't the volume to be visible in finder add a dot "." infront of the name in both places.

in fstab: LABEL=.vm /private/var/vm hfs rw 1 2
in terminal: disktool -n <device> .vm

doesnt mac os x need a swapfile and an appprofile folder in place? if you do it this way, the swapfile and the folder are deleted. this could cause SERIOUS problems, unless mac os x can generate a swapfile on its own... just wondering
