Has anyone been able to change swap areas?...] Yes, I do it all the time. My system boots up with swap on the root drive, which is boring; in the /etc/rc I do the following: swap -a /dev/dsk/1s1 0 70000 # Add 70Kblocks swap on 1s1 swap -d /dev/dsk/0s0 14320 # Remove 0s0 swap. swap -l # List what's left You have to be careful of two things - 1) always allocate new swap space before you zap the old swap space, so you have SOME swap space. 2) be careful if you delete a swap area when something's using it. I haven't dug around enough to really understand what happens, but I normally remove swap areas only when there's not enough running to swap anyway. -- Bill Stewart ho95c!wcs AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ HO 4K-435 x0705 (201-949-0705) {allegra, ucbvax!ihnp4, decvax!harpo}!houxf!stewart
