Thread: Increasing Tivo Swap file

    Question Increasing Tivo Swap file

    Hi eveyone,

    I've been trying to fix this Green Screen of Death (GSOD) issues that I started to experience on my tivo. It started to go into a reboot loop and never recovered. I read that the problem could be due to the swap file being smaller that it should be for the amount of storage that I have which is 2x 500GB drives.

    Tried the following with the disks in and out of the tivo and no luck
    mkswap /dev/hda8
    swapon -a

    I followed the following post
    http://www.tuhs.org/twiki/bin/view/Howto/FixSwapIssues and tried all options and still no luck.

    I then went to my last option which is to rebuild the tivo using the latest image. During the setup, I specified 510MB for the swap file size. However, after it rebooted, I telnet into the box and ran the pdisk /dev/hda command and under partition 7: Swap Root 2, it still shows 128MB. Does this mean that the swap file is back to 128MB?

    Can someone advise how to increase this to 500MB?

    when you re-imaged did you select update installer?

    The version on the ISO has some issues with swap size, which has since been corrected in the update.

    I am currently running an S1 tivo with 1.4gb of swap. 700 of it on the A drive with priority 5 and 700mb on the B drive at priority 3.
