Cool.  At the same time can you add 4096 byte block support?  I tried but
failed in pipe fitting school and never quite figured out how to use teflon
tape.  ;-)

Actually no big deal.  I just haven't played with it enough yet.

Thx,

Leland

I don't see any reason why not....I'll see what I can put together for you
this weekend.

Subject: Swapgen on real dasd


I'm using a slightly modified version of the SWAPGEN EXEC on v-disk for
swapping in V-disk.

I have a user who needs LOTS of swap space.  I'd like to give him two swap
areas, one in v-disk and one on a real disk (with different priorities), but
the real disk formatted with CMS FORMAT/RESERVE so I can use the minidisk
cacheing option in SLES8.  Can I use SWAPGEN EXEC to build a swap file on
real 3390's?  I'll have to format it with 512-byte blocks, right?

Or can I create a FORMAT/RESERVE disk and just use mkswap on it?
