#48 Add a small swap partition to VM images
Hey,
I'm sorry I was away for some time, I changed workplace, and it is still a big mess around me...
I thouhgt I mention something interesting I failed to report earlier.
After installing the opennop virtual machine images, the OpenSUSE is built (it seems) without swap space. I thought it wasn't a problem, but... after running for some time, maybe a week, you start to get these:
SLAB: Unable to allocate memory on node 0
after installing some swap space, this has been solved, not really sure why though... because this usually means fragmented memory, but...
just thought it may be important...
take good care... will be back testing if I have a chace to implement anything like this where I am now...

Suse Studio (the tool used to package the OpenNOP images) does not create the VM images with any swap space.
Its by design and I cannot change that. Only if you install from the disk image will it create a small swap partition (512MB currently).
