Parameter:
 
mmm is a number from 512 to 32767 which specifies how large the SWAPPER.DAT file can grow before it stops consuming hard disk space. The size is stated in the negative. In other words, if you have the mmm set to 512, then the SWAPPER.DAT file can grow until there is only 512k left on your hard disk.
 
nnn is the starting size of the SWAPPER.DAT file.

Can you explain this:
[C:\os2\system]dir swapper.dat

The volume label in drive C is ARCAOS.
The Volume Serial Number is C78D:15C3.
Directory of C:\os2\system

18/07/20  9:16    1.258.291 K      0 ----  SWAPPER.DAT
        1 file(s) 1.258.291 K bytes used
                   12.948.082 K bytes free

Maybe the manual is old?

PD. By removing ramdisk, it improves performance. The hard disk I am using is an sdd.

ivan:
Nothing strange about that.  Your swap file is 1,258,291K in size and was last written to at 9:16 on 18/07/20 which is about normal and there are 0 EAs attached.  It also says the reserved space for the file is 12,984,082K.

Pete:
Hi All

Surely the "12.948.082 K bytes free" is the remaining free disk space not reserved space for swapper.dat


Regards

Pete

ivan:
Opps!!  I thought I copied the correct figure from the calculator but it appears I didn't.  The reserved space for the file is 12,946,034K  (12,948,082 - 2048.  That is the amount of free space on the disk partition minus the amount that is left free).

roberto:
I just got this error out in FM / 2 ver 3.24, attached photo. Is this from netlabs? or I don't know who to send the file to.
Pete and Ivan,
but have you tried it, my setup suggestion?
Pete is a **dir** comand, error? in copy paste?
