It is possible that unarchiving uses t: which is assigned to ram:? Maybe will help to assign t: on hd? I remeber doing this on classic amiga with some archivers.

No, it doesn't.

How do I set Unarc to use the swap partition (I have a 2 GB swap)?
Regarding the binaries, are there any links to the newest version available for AOS (these 2, v4.x, were the only I could find so far)?

1) You can't.
SWAP is an internally used partition for the OS, you cannot point any porgram to use it as default. It will kick in once physical ram is completely occupied.

2) 2 GB of SWAP is (for now) a waste of space.
The maximum amount of RAM (physical and through a SWAP partition) is limited to 2 GB.
So, if you have 2 GB of physical RAM you don't even need to create a SWAP partition as it's never ever used (yet) until some programs come along that starts using the new technology of going beyond that 2 GB border.

I'm not sure if there are some already (apart from maybe some OS components), but that has to be answered by people who know it

i.e. If you have 1 GB of physical RAM you only need to create a 1 GB SWAP partition to reach the maximum, with 512 MB you'd need a 1.5 GB SWAP and so on

@Cass

1) I meant check that your swap partition is set up correctly. If you run memstat it should tell you at the end of the output:



2) I thought you were trying it under Windows.

Do you have a link to the archive for me to look at?

@Chris

I thought the optimal swap would be physical memory x2, but this does not aply to AOS due to its memory address space.
So to get this sorted out : 1GB physical memory (Sam440F) + 2GB swap, the swap gets totally ignored or just the half size of it?

Anyhow, I reduced the swap partition size to 1024MB (reported as 1023.984MBytes, blocksize 4096, 43693 cylinders) but it still gets "out of memory" message. The .7z file contains 1.4GB in 5 files (2 of them 700MB+ , .iso files).

OK, 1.4GB + the original archive size (which I'd guess is at least 600MB?) will reach the 2GB limit if the original archive and the extracted files are all in memory at once - which they might be due to the way it works.

However I've just spotted a memory leak, so please try v2.6 - just extract it into Libs:xad and reboot.

When I get the new SDK I'll try to add support for using extended memory...
