Our call to SWAPGEN looks like this in the Linux PROFILE EXEC: "EXEC SWAPGEN 201 288000" This creates a device at address 201 that is 288000 blocks in size. Each block is 512K, which makes the swap disk about 140 megabytes.
Nothing is required in the user's directory entry. The SWAPGEN EXEC must be on a disk accessible to the Linux virtual machine. -----Original Message----- From: James Melin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: October 6, 2004 12:43 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Swapgen - setting up/installing Our VM sysprog is out sick, and has been like down for 2 days now. Don't think he'll be back this week. I don't know enough about VM directly, myself, to install swapgen and make it work. I can find and edit profile exec, but i do not know how to 1) Put swapgen in the user directory 2) I do not know how to code the call for swapgen, so that it uses the device 300 as the target of operation. Our VM sysprog put the VDSK swap space at virtual device 300. I had been looking at the HOWTO vdiskswp.html but this is for a 2.2.16 system, as there is no /sbin/init.d/boot in SLES8. Anyway, I thought I could puzzle it out, but it seems to be eluding me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ______________________________________________________________________ The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
