Instead of requiring UNITS SIZE, you could infer it from the presence of a G or an M on the size parameter. Dennis L. O’Brien Vice President Consultant II, z/VM Engineering Technology Engineering & Operations Bank of America CA4-704-06-15, 2000 Clayton Rd, Concord, CA 94520 Dennis.L.O’br...@ban

question on SWAPGEN preferences

I'm trying to tackle some of the backlogged nits with SWAPGEN, and wanted to get opinions on a couple of changes. 1. Right now, the size of the swap disk is specified in # of blocks. Would it be valuable to be able to specify this in megabytes/gigabytes and let SWAPGEN worry about the geom
