- The problem is, that the first block on your swap device is identical with
- memory at physical address 0; that will lead the system to the assumption,
- that some system dump is on the swap device. To get rid of it:
- Edit the /sbin/bcheckrc script. Put after the line "/sbin/dumpcheck"
- the line
-
- echo MARK | dd of=/dev/rswap bs=512 conv=sync > /dev/null 2>&1
-
- This will clear the system dump.
