I know nothing of Solaris, but Linux is very happy to use a swap 
partition on another HD.  Just make the partition with cfdisk, I believe, 
and then edit your /etc/fstab to change the location of your swap 
partition appropriately.

SWAP partition on a different HD

1997-03-28 Thread Leon Castellanos
I installed SOLARIS x86 2.5.1 and the identification number for the solaris
UFS partition is the same as the Linux Swap! 

My question is if it is possible to make the SWAP partition on another HD
so that it doesn't conflict with the SOLARIS one? I can't make it on the
same HD cuz then SOLARIS would see it as a SOLARIS partition and SOLARIS
doesn't allow more than one main UFS per HD!

HELP
