Larry, The 2.4.19 source tree still has the code for xpram. My "gut feel" (since I don't have any direct experience) about this is that for Linux/390 on VM, it would be better to use the Vdisk, rather than xpram. My guesss is that the xpram driver will use the storage, and it's likely to stay "in" whereas the parts of the Vdisk that aren't referenced for a while will get moved to disk, assuming sufficient pressure on storage. I would love to have this reasoning either validated or refuted by someone who actually _knows_.

I believe the driver use to be XPRAM for the earlier Linux 2.2 systems. on these 2.4.7+ systems 1. Is XPRAM still available, Or 2. Should I be using the V-Disk implementation for swap space What are your thoughts, and where would these implementations be documented. \|/ (. .) TIA, ___ooO-(_)-Ooo___, Larry Davis
