Re: [coLinux-devel] Is there a way to increase total memory?

>Is there an easy way to increase total memory?  29MB

On my system, coLinux starts to eat up the whole system memory wich 
after a while slows down both Windows and Linux. Therefore I increased 
the "memory" by adding a swapdrive. Initially this seems to give some 
relief. After a while nearly all system memory is in use again and 
switching from coLinux <> WindowsXP (1.8G + 512M mem) becomes very slow. 
It would be nice to limit the maximum of system resources (memory) cL 
uses, forcing it to use the cL swap-disk instead of the Windows-swap.

I also have a problem with my filesystem: since the cL seems to be 
unable to set the OS-time on boot, I have to do a fsch on the 
filesystems every boot, than remount and give an init3 (or init5). 
Running with ext3 seems not to bother.

The systems runs for about 30 minutes than it dies, without error 
warnings. This has been since the install, so I think I have to await a 
new version and start allover.

To tease the system, I upgraded to SID and installed KDE - all seems to 
be fine, but a bit slow due to the leak of system resources.

Any tips?
