I often have disks in the 200-20f area and my swap is now
at 200, no problem. Als tried to put one at /dev/dasdr1

Did you define the disk with hcp or could it be that it

I guess I was wondering if you could achieve something similar to what
OS/390, z/OS, and z/VM do with paging to expanded storage versus DASD.
Obviously expanded storage is faster for paging, but once a page has been
unreferenced for a while you would not want to keep it there but move it to
dasd.
