So just change calculation as above (omit bytes and use directly kB or even MB) and you will be able to calculate up to 2TB swap space ...

I agree if a reboot fixed it this can only be the int32 issue.

As I explained here
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88121

I am now using Mb not bytes I am dividing the values by 1024.

I have not had this issue with my maximum 8 days of uptime time, so for a device with only 1 day of uptime that's a lot of swap.

I want FlopSwap to work indifinately not start failing after xyzTB of swap, so I am in search of another way.

PS thanks saponga for your testing.
As I say only had this issue with Ver 0.0.4beta when I was calculating swap by bytes. See link above for more information.
