OpenPli 4.0 : Create Swap - 01/09/16 07:02 PM

This is the way to create a SWAP on your DM running OpenPLi 4.0 from MastaG,

Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/usb/swapfile bs=1048576 count=128; mkswap /media/usb/swapfile
sed -i '/usb\/swapfile/d' /etc/fstab; echo -e '/media/usb/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
swapon /media/usb/swapfile


Enjoy,

Admin

I did all the steps but does not start swapping.
I tried to install the attached file (dvbapp2-plugin-extentions-swapmanager2-01.r1.ipk) but does not install anything.
I have a 800hd with openpli4.0 v.12 (sim japhar)
How can I do ??

You copy into /tmp, change attributes to 755 (chmod 755 + name of file), and execute it.

Thank you for swap.sh, but how do I know if a swap is active?
The free command does not work.
Thank you.

Check if you have a swap file in /hdd or /usb,
