Do you guys have swapfile enabled? If not, why, sounds like you could use it.

No. Thought it's not possible. But i did not read the changelog carefully... I'm on 1.05.04 right now, i will give it a try.
Thanks!

ok i tried to get a swapfile working, but i does not work

here is what i have done so far:

1.

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/zero of=/boot/swapfile bs=1M count=100

2.

Code: Select all

mkswap /boot/swapfile

3.

Code: Select all

swapon /boot/swapfile

But i get "swapon: /boot/swapfile: Function not implemented"

Whats missing?

[b-rad.cc]

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/zero of=/boot/.swapfile bs=1M count=100
reboot

It should be named .swapfile, aka dot swapfile.

to see if you kernel support it:

Code: Select all

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_SWAP

"swapon: /boot/swapfile: Function not implemented"

Obviously your kernel does not support swap.

thanks for your help

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_SWAP gives me:

CONFIG_SWAP is not set

I´m using 0.5.0 FW Base: 1.05.04

[b-rad.cc]

i believe the 0473 fff has swap support.

i believe the 0473 fff has swap support.

hm flashed "1.03.49_V-WDLXTV-Live-0.4.7.3 [flash]" but i get the same message.
or do i need the fff file from wd?
sorry i´m a little bit confused...

//edit:
ok flashed 1.05.04_V_WDLXTV.COM_WDLXTV_LIVE-0.5.0.0 and now it works

If your WDTV supports a swapfile, WEC will show you an option allowing you to create the swapfile, under Advanced: Swapfile on the Main tab. It will let you create it with the size you enter.

thanks nice to know!
Back to Topic: swapfile does not improve download Speed 2 Mbit/s seems max

[b-rad.cc]

I never claimed it would increase download speed. I mentioned it because memory errors were mentioned, should take care of them.
