- I partitioned 25 megs on my hard disk for swap space. I
- think all that I have to do is add a line in my
- /etc/fstab so that the swapon -a will recognize this
- as swap space. I'm not sure if I have to use
- disklabel, but if I do I don't know how. Can someone
- give me a sample of their /etc/fstab file which
- defines a partition as being swap.
-
- My /etc/fstab looks like:
- /dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1
- /dev/wd1a /usr ufs rw 1 2
-
- The 25 meg partition is on /dev/wd1a.
-
- Please send mail to schase@cyclone.mitre.org if you can help.
- Thank you.
