You get fresh zeroes when you define the VDISK. That means they don't have the 'swap signature' that lets Linux recognize it as a swap disk. You can format them as swap disk with CMS tools (eg SWAPGEN) or do it in Linux with 'mkswap' Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
