swapfile broken
See original GitHub issueHey all,
Not sure when or how this happened, but the dphys-swapfile service keeps failing. I figured it happened when I updated from v1.7 to v1.7.2
I looked at my partitions and /mnt/temp is VFAT I went through the steps manually to create a swapfile (reading the bash scripts) and I think I found the issue:
admin# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/temp/swapfile count=4096 bs=1MiB
dd: error writing '/mnt/temp/swapfile': File too large
The command does end up creating a file:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bitcoin bitcoin 4294967295 Jul 12 03:00 swapfile
So maybe this is a red herring, but I think that is probably the root cause, I’m not sure whether I should change the format of the partition, or reduce the swapfile size?
