Ah, I had interpreted it as he installed a box without swap and was now trying to add it.
He's talking about zeroing-out a partition, though, so adding another swap line to fstab should still be a viable option even if there already is a swap partition listed there. Info for all: You can have many swap partitions/files. FreeBSD attempts to balance swap usage across them on the assumption that will increase performance - typically only valid if multiple swap partitions are located on multiple disks. If you put multiple swap partitions on a single disk, performance should suffer very slightly. OTOH, if you're running out of swap, performance probably suffers not-so-slightly in the first place! -Adam > -----Original Message----- > From: st41ker [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, November 10, 2010 12:07 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] Swap > > If I understood correctly James tried to expand existing swap and > somehow he can not do it by merging existing and new partitions. > > On 10.11.2010 19:47, Adam Thompson wrote: > > Why not just add the necessary line to /etc/fstab, and let the > boot-time > > rc scripts mount it like usual? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
