We are running SLES7 and trying to initailize swap space that exists on a VDISK. I realize that the space needs to be formated using mkswap everytime the instance is logged off.
I added the following two lines to /etc/rc.d/boot.local /sbin/mkswap /dev/dasdd /sbin/swapon /dev/dasdd -p 1 But after I did this I get the following error when I IPL. Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 10477568 bytes dasd(fba):device 0210 on irq 13: I/O status report: end_request: I/O error, dev 5e:0c (dasd), sector 2 Unable to find swap-space signature swapon: /dev/dasdd: Invalid argument failed Creating /var/log/boot.msg After the IPL is completed if I log in and manually enter the commands, they work as expected. Why don't they work using boot.local ? TIA Josh Konkol, CNE MCSE Technical Research Specialist .~.
