- I'm in the process of installing CAEDS on our RS6000 520's ( 3.2.2) with
- 670 Mb SCSI Drives. They only have 95Mb of Swap and CAEDS ( A Solid
- Modeling and Analysis App) requires 135Mb of Swap.
-
- Problem: Not enough free PP's to use as swap, and I Don't want to swap over
- the Net. SMIT tells me that reducing a partition can't be done - Is this
- truely the case ? Is there some clever way of doing this, like wiping out
- /usr and restoring it with a smaller partition - /usr is the only partition
- that I could
- do this on, the rest on the local disk would all be too small.
-
- Please email any thoughts

- Thanks
