Mark,
Here are the steps I did to get V-disk work on Redhat 7.2 ( thanks to you)
- Add a MDISK statement to Linux directory:
MDISK 0151 FB-512 V-DISK 30000 MR LINUX SWAP DASD
- Add the following to linux PROFILE EXEC:
QUEUE '1'
QUEUE 'LXSWAP'
'FORMAT 151 E ( BLK 4096'
IF RC <> 0 THEN EXIT RC
QUEUE '1'
'RESERVE LINUX SWAP E6'
IF RC <> 0 THEN EXIT
- Add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
mkswap /dev/dasdb1
swapon /dev/dasdb1
- Comment out the swap entry in /etc/fstab
- Restart LINUX
- cat /proc/swaps show:
Filename Type Size Used
Priority
/dev/dasdb1 partition 14940 0 -1
For now this seems to work for me. I'll try the octal thing some other time.
Thank you
