condor Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 pineapple ver 2.7.0 having issues with the swap partition taking over the sdcard. this happens after issuing the 'mkswap /dev/sda2' command. I've never had this problem before, and I've used many sdcards. Now I'm having this problem no matter what sdcard I use. I started from scratch on an sdcard and left the second partition unformatted, then loaded infusions onto the larger partition from the pineapple bar. This seemed to work, so I formatted the leftover space to ext4 and all, then put it into pineapple, issued mkswap /dev/sda2 and got root@Pineapple:/# mkswap /dev/sda2 Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1686820 KiB no label, UUID=77689b90-181a-4be3-9cb5-c6a4617434c1 funny thing is, that size up there is correct. 1.6gb, but after a reboot, the swap size becomes root@Pineapple:~# free total used free shared buffers Mem: 29480 27276 2204 0 3788 -/+ buffers: 23488 5992 Swap: 3373640 0 3373640 ...which is 3.3gb! so lost can someone shed some light here? lol been using this contraption for a year now.. I have 4 of them. did I miss something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condor Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 I swear I never had to do anything like this before, but... ..after looking into things, I found that the pineapple was mounting the storage side of my sdcard @ sdb1, so I just changed the fstab to reflect that and left everything else alone. Fixed. I can install modules from the pineapple bar to usb, and I have a swap partition now as well. Could this strange behavior be attributed to the sdcard being on a 3/4G modem? I just gotta make this thing into a standalone attack platform. Going to Disney in 3 days, lol here Mickey, Mickey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
