SWAP issue with Oracle XE on hosted virtual machine with Suse Linux

Tobias ArnholdMay 13 2010 — edited May 18 2010

Hi all,

I have a real pain with a SWAP issue on my virtual machine. During the pre installation test for the Oracle XE installation it demands at least 1GB SWAP space.
When I tried adding additional SWAP space I got a strange error "Operation not permitted".

I tried the following to add a new SWAP file:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/swapfile bs=1024 count=1000000
# mkswap /dev/swapfile
# swapon /dev/swapfile
swapon: /dev/swapfile: Operation not permitted

I found out that it must have to do with the hosted virtual machine. But how can I prevent this issue?

Hope for help.

Tobias
