Hello all,
I am having trouble implementing vdisk (SWAP) on an SLES9 Linux instance.
I can do an insmod of the appropriate dasd_fba_mod, but at boot time, I get the message that it cannot find the abovementioned. It's eckd relative is there, as I want to utilise fba (vdisk) for a swap device, this is not much use to me.
Do I have to run mkinitrd and zipl after amending /etc/sysconfig/kernel to include fba support??.
That'd work. Another way would be not to turn on swapping until a little later, with a local mod to the startup scripts in /etc/init.d, so that the swap device isn't mounted until you have all the filesystems up and the kernel can autoload the fba module.
However, if you're running 31-bit, use the diag driver instead. It's a little faster. If you're running 64-bit, use FBA.
