Please move as necessary if it is not. I've followed the instructions exactly on the faq (many times over) about adding swap and it seems that there is a step that I am missing. Here's what I have: Stable version: FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #4 in the kernel: pseudo-device vn 1 i've also tried: pseudo-device vn I've done a ./MAKEDEV vn0 in /dev odin# ls -al vn0 brw-r----- 1 root operator 15, 0x00010002 May 4 12:04 vn0 (other vn0x devices exist as well including vn0c) I've done a dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/swap0 bs=1024k count=64 chmoded /usr/swap0 to 0600 odin# ls -al /usr/swap0 -rw------- 1 root wheel 67108864 May 4 12:05 /usr/swap0 However each time rc.conf or myself tries to enable the swap file I get the same error message: odin# vnconfig -ce /dev/vn0c /usr/swap0 swap vnconfig: open: Device not configured Has something changed in how one is supposed to add swap? Please reply directly as I'm not subbed to the list.
