Ok it's seems I was incorrect but I think I have located your issue.

In the current version of Flopswap (0.0.6) it unfortunately requires the swaps to be in the EXACT coded locations. This is to be fixed in upcoming version.

Your uSD swap spaces are not in the correct place for version 0.0.6 to work.
In this version swaps MUST be at mmcblk1p2 and mmcblk1p3 on the card. Yours are not and for version 0.0.6 to work you need to repartition the card so the first 1p1 is FAT or ext and then 1p2 and 1p3 is swap.

You seem to be on CSSU Stable with KP52 and the stock version of upstart.

and again:

hail to the sixwheeledbeast...
thank u a lot.

i immediately gonna search my gparted disc....

actually, that im able to have cssu with kp52 runnig even with 1ghz and (!) smartreflex seems to be just luck.
i was fallen in love with the n900 in spring this year and i distributed it to all my friends and was trying to enhance it also for educational use with iphonevictims...
so i had a nice device and some friends asked me for that phone which is bought faulty for little money and really easy to repair.
after i found backupmenu, flashing and all this was much faster and so i installed power-kernel on minimum 5 devices, mine was the only one to run stable under 1ghz and smartreflex.

and excuse me preachin' but this phone is so the best device i can imagin. it was my start in linux and even the terminal on my mac and showed me again how open systems are feared by our moderntimebigdataindustrie....
they dont want us to understand that we just bought the same hardware clocked littlebit faster in a shiny new design...

i'm still a noob, but thankful that the n900 opend me the door to beginn to understand what a computer actually is and how extremly users nowaday are guided like sheeps instead of bein educated to understand and create their tecnological environment....

i fear in my case. this is no solution...
any other workarounds?

Can you edit your post and put the output of the code you tried before.

of course and thx for ur support:

Well now I am stumped.
Which swaps are stripped on boot?

actually u just used a word im not familliar in this context...
stripped.

excuse my english, but its sometimes a bit limited...
could the issue come from the fact, that i made a bigger swap partitition?

if i insert the sd card after booting and than use flopswao, i have one partitition of 1,5gb,

if i reboot i have 3gb.

and the partititions are 2 and 3 like u told me to configure....


if i may not answer ur question precisly, please dont be mad and use another word instead of stripped which reminds me poor noob off some nasty naked women...


and thank u again,,,

He meant "striped" as is a zebra Search for "swap stripe".

New FlopSwap loaded to build queue

Normal extras-devel rules apply but has been tested for backward compatibility.

The main change is that FlopSwap can now detect swap locations, so as long as there is one swap on device and two swaps on uSD it will locate them. This is obviously much better than the fixed value method.

Also there is a new dialog if you hit int32, which I managed to hit after 25 days uptime.

If you used cron/alarmed to "swapswitch" before nothing there has changed so all will resume as normal.

Thanks to Pali for advise on IRC and to the people that reported those tiny bugs here. They should be sorted now.
