Is swap broken in current builds? I was thinking of going back to build r13527 from the sticky thread, but it seems like that won't make a difference here...

It would appear (not sure) that you are using the K26 builds. Those have had swap disabled. Swap still works on K24 builds. Not sure if the swap is being worked on in the newer builds, but that is what is up so far. _________________ E3000 22200M KongVPN K26

You must remember that these newer routers with either 64 or 128MB of RAM will not swap unless they are under HEAVY load. My RT-N16 will swap, but only if I have multiple services running like Transmission and Samba file transfer. I am using build 14144 mega _________________ Optware, the Right Way

Well, the first thing I wrote on this topic...

Its mainly all transmission, without it, I am at about 30% swap usage. Btw, 610Nv2 has 64mb of ram. And I am also using the r14144 mega/big build from BrainSlayer. _________________ Linksys WRT610N v2 (DD-WRT) :: D-LINK DIR-825 (OpenWrt) :: The World in 35mm :: Bandwidth Shaping with DD-WRT

I hear ya, I guess I am lacking to understand by what Eko means by "disabled" then. In regular Linux land, if you disable swap in the kernel, you cannot mount swap partitions, swap partition format, 0x82 isn't recognized, etc, etc.
I see every indication that swap is enabled in the kernel, and as a matter of fact, it was automounted for me (assuming by optware), but something realized my USB disk had a swap partition and without specifying anything in the configuration, some startup script does a "swapon /dev/sda2" automatically.
If you are going to disable something, then disable it. Otherwise it just leads to confusion. Especially in the DD-WRT world, since forums, docs, wikis seem to contradict themselves 50% of the time _________________ Linksys WRT610N v2 (DD-WRT) :: D-LINK DIR-825 (OpenWrt) :: The World in 35mm :: Bandwidth Shaping with DD-WRT

He unset CONFIG_SWAP in the kernel config file. Maybe some optware packages are inserting modules, I don't know, but AFAIK other people completely lost the ability to even mount swap partitions.
It's just a mislabeled directory but that's the 2.6.4.111 sources. See the top of the makefile and the config file for example. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.
