Swap file on Samsung Galaxy

[Guest kam187]

It looks like swapping isnt enabled by default in the kernel?

When i do swapon, it responds function not implemented :-/

swapon /sdcard/swapfile.swp

Hmmm, that sucks!

You've installed busybox to get swapon?

Yep. Swapper was failing, so i uninstalled it and tried to turn the swap on manually.

I know that in linux u need to turn on swap support in .config before you compile otherwise you get this message. I wonder if they did it on purpose to make the kernel smaller.
