Upcoming moOde 9.0.4 release

[Tim Curtis]

I think the scenario is where you start on an 8GB RAM Pi which would result in default swap size = 100MB then put the SD Card in a <= 4GB PI. It would still be 100MB instead of 200MB had it been first enabled on the <= 4GB Pi.

I'll set the param in the conf file to 200 in postinstall

I think the scenario is where you start on an 8GB RAM Pi which would result in default swap size = 100MB then put the SD Card in a <= 4GB  PI. It would still be 100MB instead of 200MB had it been first enabled on the <= 4GB Pi.

I'm still trying to grok how initialization in an 8GB Pi (which I don't have) sets swap space to 100MB. Maybe it will go better tomorrow morning with coffee instead of the way it's going tonight while 'sipping' wine and watching fireworks on TV.  

I'll set the param in the conf file to 200 in postinstall

That sounds reasonable but I'd still feel better if I understood the underlying code.

As an aside, the distributed moOde image has

Code:

CONF_SWAPSIZE=100

Is that a telltale that you're building on an 8GB Pi?

The dev host has 4GB RAM and CONF_SWAPSIZE=200 but the pi-gen based image builder creates the image in a chroot virtual environment and as part of moode-player package install the dphys-swapfile service is disabled and so its conf is left as-is and I'm guessing it ships with swap size = 100.
