I sort of understand what you are saying here, but I had to forward it to our LINUX guy and haven't heard back from him..
Has SWAPGEN ben updated recently? .. the version I have was from about MARCH of this year. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of RPN01 Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 12:24 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: VDISK-SWAP-SWAPGEN ??? >From one of my systems, here's the contents of /proc/dasd/devices: iwydzl03:/home/rpn01 # cat /proc/dasd/devices 0.0.0391(ECKD) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : active at blocksize: 4096, 22500 blocks, 87 MB 0.0.0392(ECKD) at ( 94: 4) is dasdb : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0.0.0393(ECKD) at ( 94: 8) is dasdc : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0.0.0394(ECKD) at ( 94: 12) is dasdd : active at blocksize: 4096, 1802880 blocks, 7042 MB 0.0.0395(ECKD) at ( 94: 16) is dasde : active at blocksize: 4096, 5896620 blocks, 23033 MB 0.0.0396(ECKD) at ( 94: 20) is dasdf : active at blocksize: 4096, 5896620 blocks, 23033 MB 0.0.0397(ECKD) at ( 94: 24) is dasdg : active at blocksize: 4096, 5896620 blocks, 23033 MB 0.0.0398(ECKD) at ( 94: 28) is dasdh : active at blocksize: 4096, 5896620 blocks, 23033 MB 0.0.0399(ECKD) at ( 94: 32) is dasdi : active at blocksize: 4096, 5896620 blocks, 23033 MB 0.0.039a(ECKD) at ( 94: 36) is dasdj : active at blocksize: 4096, 1440000 blocks, 5625 MB 0.0.07ff(FBA ) at ( 94: 40) is dasdk : active at blocksize: 512, 2097152 blocks, 1024 MB iwydzl03:/home/rpn01 # The last entry (0.0.7ff) ends up being /dev/dasdk.

This is used in fstab, as so: /dev/vg_system/lv_var /var reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.07ff1 swap swap defaults,pri=100 0 0 /dev/vg_system/lv_swap swap swap defaults,pri=50 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 This allows me to access the swap without having to know what /dev/dasd? Device it is, or be worried about it changing positions in the list. Swapgen, used in a CMS profile which starts the boot process, makes sure that the swap space is formatted. -- Robert P.
