<lifeng> I allocated a 5GB partition as swap, but hurd only found 1GB
<youpi> use 2GiB swaps only, >2Gib are not supported
<youpi> (and apparently it just truncates the size, to be investigated)

+ <C-Keen> mkswap truncated the swap partiton to 2GB
+ <teythoon> :/
+ <teythoon> have you checked with 'free' ?
+ <teythoon> I have a 4gb swap partition on one of my boxes
+ <C-Keen> how did you create it?
+ <C-Keen> 2gig swap alright
+ <C-Keen> according to free

+ <braunr> C-Keen: swapfiles are not to work very badly on the hurd
+ <braunr> swapfiles cause recursion and reservation problems on every system
+ but on the hurd, we just never took the time to fix the swap code
+
+Same issues as we generally would have with `hurd-defpager`?
