RE: swap file using gmirror?
As far as I understand, Swapoff="Yes" doesn't disable the swapfile, it just purges it on shutdown or something. I'm not quite sure of the need of this with mirroring but I do see it in the gmirror doc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bob self Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 5:23 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: swap file using gmirror?
