@The-Party-of-Hell-No

Your in luck that is 1GB

64MB X 2 = 128MB a fourth of a 1GB

128MB X 2 = 512MB or half a 1GB

512 X 2 = 1024MB or Also known as 1GB :)

Ahh shit, I sound like a bumpkin... never mind.

Quick Question @stephenw10 @jimp

I am testing SWAP on a USB drive and I used gpart to create a swap partition on the drive, I have it referenced and it is working...

But it doesn't show usage here...

But it does here

This all seemed to math up with the SSD use

Just to confirm this is correct right I can hear the drive running seeking etc

I checked the ada0 made sure it would work unplugged it to make use it was the right drive name also

Disregard I spoke to soon...

@stephenw10 said in SG2100 128GB SSD and Swap:

/dev/ada0s3b

With use of the drive "da0" in place of "/dev/ada0s3b how can I still use the SWAP and have coredumps generate?

How can I still use the external drive for swap and access core dumps in /var/crashes?

[JonathanLee]

I need to use

/dev/ada0s3b for dump

and
/dev/da0 for swapping

can I separate them?

[stephenw10]

Not easily. Not as far as I know at least.
