How to guide: Create, activate and use a swap file on a Dreambox Dm800 | Dreambox Help
Hi Mate, I don't think we can create swap file on PLi images that easily but it can be done via the command line.
Telnet to the box then.....
Make sure the device you want your swapfile on is mounted e.g. like "ls /hdd" or "ls /media/hdd" returns a file list (at least lost&found).
The following assumes adjusting and exisiting swap on /hdd - note that using your hard disk is not a good idea as it will have the disk active a lot of the time, rather use a flash disk.
If you are setting up swap for the first time skip step (1).
1. /sbin/swapoff /hdd/swapfile --- do this only if you are adjusting swapfile size, adjust this to where you have a swapfile at the moment if any
2. /bin/dd if=/dev/zero of= /hdd/swapfile bs=1048576 count=32 -- adjust /hdd to where the device is mounted that you want the swapfile on; adjust count=32 to size of swap in MB
3. /sbin/mkswap /hdd/swapfile
4. /sbin/swapon /hdd/swapfile
It's much better to delete plugins you don't need to free up some space as experts on the OpenPLi forum recommend that swapfile is not needed on DM800** box as its likely to do more harm then good. Swap file is really only needed on the older Enigma1 boxes that had very little memory. Hope this helps
