but initially only the minidisk shows up as swap. I have to manually
'swapon /dev/dasdf1' in order to start it.
I have modified my /etc/fstab to include both, but only the
minidisk device
shows up.
/dev/dasde1 swap swap pri=-2
0 0
/dev/dasdf1 swap swap pri=42
0 0
I am using Sine Nomine's 'Swapgen' to initialize the virtual disk,
and am
even using the DIAG option, which also does not seem to work, even
when I
try to
manually enable it using the command 'modprobe dasd_diag_mod'.
If you're having trouble getting dasd_diag_mod loaded (and since swap
will be mounted before you have the option to load this) you could
either rebuild an initrd with dasd_diag_mod and preload it there, or
put it into /etc/modules (not sure that's the right place on SLES 9,
and that might not be before swap gets mounted), or take the speed
hit and run SWAPGEN in FBA mode and swapon to the raw device /dev/
dasdf/
