error when making swap in remastering[solved]

[techz_boy]

i get error when i type

dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=700k


the error is

dd: writing `swapfile': No space left on device
217009+0 records in
217008+0 records out
222216192 bytes transferred in 79.557125 seconds (2793165 bytes/sec)


my swapfile is only 210 MB

but i want to make 700mb

my hdc5 is already mounted

mount
/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/hdb on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro)
/dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)

u need create partiton not in extended partition

[markpreston]

What do you get with fdisk -p for /dev/hdc?
You may have to resize other partitions to create a larger swap partition.
Ideally the swap partition should be 2Gb or more for Knoppix remastering.

For example,
root@m:/home/mark# fdisk /dev/hda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 4864.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Partition table entries are not in disk order?

[techz_boy]

fdisk /dev/hdc5
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.


The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 7719.
