Dunno. Maybe its install scripts just do a mkswap /dev/hdb1 or whatever. SWAPGEN runs in CMS, by the way, so if you are IPLing directly into Linux rather than by way of CMS, you will need to do a mkswap at some point in the boot process. But if you do *that* then there's no way you're doing a CMS RESERVE on the swap disk, which means, in turn, that you're using raw FBA access to the device, which is somewhat slower than using DIAG. Unless, of course, you're running 64-bit, in which case you can't use DIAG, so you're back to using the VDISK as FBA in that case, Adam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
