[SunHELP] Swap file size limitation

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR ( SDaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com )]

Something I'm confused about is the dumpfile issue.

Suppose I've got 20 Gb of RAM and the kernel panics.
Is the kernel supposed to dump the entire RAM (user+kernel space) or only
the kernel part ?

If the entire RAM is dumped, or if the kernel size exceeds 2 Gb, it will not
be able to dump because the first swapfile size is not more than 2 Gb, or am
I wrong ?

	It will always be 2Gb under 2.6.

	Of course, this does not prevent you from having several 2GB swap
files or
	partitions configured.
