Well I thought that the maximum swap partition size was 128MB. Also, I thought that the general rule of equal/double your ram size didn't apply when you had over 128MB of RAM. Is there a way to actually check the swap partition size? I want to double check that it's 128MB. How would I adjust it larger at this point?
