You can prepare another dasd with dasdfmt and fdasd, then use mkswap to create a swap space on a partition you created, and activate it using swapon. All commands have man-pages that explain their proper usage. If you want to use the swap space on the next startup, add the disk to /etc/fstab just like the swap partition you do already use (see "man fstab"). cheers, Carsten -- Carsten Otte has stopped smoking: Ich habe in 3 Monate, 2 Wochen und 4 Tage schon 531,81 Euro gespart anstatt 2.215,90 Zigaretten zu kaufen. -- 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
swap partition increase
I'm running linux sles9 sp3 on z/vm 5.1 . The person who genned the linux guests partitioned a 3390 as /dev/dasdb1 swap 1020.0 MB /dev/dasdb2 /tmp 1.2 GB . This next line is a my humble opinion. There is some kind of memory leak in the java code written for the apps on these guest. Why you ask? When the guests are started we have ~190 tasks running with 0k swap space used. Now as things get started I would expect some swap space to be used. But as the week wears on the number of tasks creep up (~260-280) and the swap space decreases and never releases. The tasks are not zombies but show 'sleeping'. I know the next statement isn't a permanent fix but I need to know if(and how) I can increase my swap space. Or do I have an option "B" and what that option is and how to impliment that option. again I know the best thing to do is fix the code but that won't happen. thanks Mace __ Do You Yahoo!?
