R J Huntington asked: % We have FreeBSD installed on our server and need to increase swap % space. The question is: Do we have to reinstall the OS from scratch? Michael Smith replied: # No. See the 'vnconfig' manpage and the handbook for instructions on # creating a swapfile. Gary Palmer informed uss: > There is a performance penalty for doing this tho. If performance is > critical on your server, creating or enlarging a ``proper'' raw swap > parition would be preferable. Another simple alternative is to add a disk drive, and make another swap partition on the new disk drive. If you use a high-performance SCSI system (can you say 'detach'?) this is a big performance win as well. Go check out some cheap disk drives at http://www.onsale.com/. -- Wes Peters | Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late Softweyr | The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder Consulting | I'm an over forty victim of fate... wes@intele.net | Jimmy Buffett
