Linux swap space. This allows Linux to use the entire file or
|
2003-02-27 08:44:04 +05:30
|
|
|
partition as if it were additional RAM, which can greatly increase
|
2008-07-22 23:57:53 +05:30
|
|
|
the capability of low-memory machines. This additional memory is
|
2003-02-27 08:44:04 +05:30
|
|
|
much slower than real RAM, but can be very helpful at preventing your
|
2003-10-22 15:28:56 +05:30
|
|
|
applications being killed by the Linux out of memory (OOM) killer.

|
Once you have created swap space using 'mkswap' you need to enable
|
|
|
|
|
the swap space using the 'swapon' utility.

more is a simple utility which allows you to read text one screen

|
sized page at a time. If you want to read text that is larger than

|
|
|
the screen, and you are using anything faster than a 300 baud modem,

Major rewrite of mount, umount, losetup. Untangled lots of code, shrunk
things down a bit, fixed a number of funky corner cases, added support for
several new features (things like mount --move, mount --bind, lazy unounts,
automatic detection of loop mounts, and so on). Probably broke several
other things, but it's fixable. (Bang on it, tell me what doesn't work for
you...)
Note: you no longer need to say "-o loop". It does that for you when
necessary.
Still need to add "user mount" support, which involves making mount suid. Not
too hard to do under the new infrastructure, just haven't done it yet...

Note: you no longer need to say "-o loop". It does that for you when
necessary.
Still need to add "user mount" support, which involves making mount suid. Not

The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
|
|
|
|
|
your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
|
|
|
|
|
If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
|
|
|
|
|
example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
|
|
|
|
|
features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
|
|
|
|
|
that your /etc directory be writeable, tends to get easily confused

About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from

your kernel.
