Anyone have notes on expanding the swap disk?
In your case, you effectively added a brand new disk, so you have to follow the same steps you would normally. Those steps are exactly what you listing doing. The alternative would have been to use YaST to activate, format, partition, and then put a swap signature on the disk. > Also, I'm getting this error on another machine: > # fdasd -ask /dev/dasdh > /dev/dasdh is not an ECKD disk! This disk type is not supported! What does /proc/dasd/devices show? If it's not ECKD, fdasd won't touch it.
