Ray,I defined eight vdisks as swap (the max that Linux can use, so I only have to mess with fstab once), each double the other, with descending priority so the smallest gets used first. When I see swap space starting to spill into some of the larger vdisks, I may increase the virtual machine size, and/or I may re-double the size of each in the VM directory, re-boot, and continue monitoring. For example, * /dev/dasds MDISK 212 FB-512 V-DISK 2000 MR * /dev/dasdt MDISK 213 FB-512 V-DISK 4000 MR * /dev/dasdu MDISK 214 FB-512 V-DISK 8000 MR * /dev/dasdv MDISK 215 FB-512 V-DISK 16000 MR * /dev/dasdw MDISK 216 FB-512 V-DISK 32000 MR * /dev/dasdx MDISK 217 FB-512 V-DISK 64000 MR * /dev/dasdy MDISK 218 FB-512 V-DISK 128000 MR * /dev/dasdz MDISK 219 FB-512 V-DISK 256000 MR Best regards, Mark
are those 512 Mbytes each? it seems like a lot to me to have that many unless you have a lot of real memory under zVM (central plus expanded). wouldn't you want to have a real disk just in case at the end for last resort? I am new at this game so it easy to get me confused but I am very attentive to the advise going on in this thread. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
