Dear FreeBSD,
I have a 13gig IDE hard drive that my partition looks as follows:
******* Working on device /dev/rad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1653 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1653 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 63, size 20563137 (10040 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 130,(Linux swap or Solaris x86)
start 20563200, size 5992245 (2925 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 255;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
==
The thing is when I do top or swapinfo it only shows 133MB of Swap Space but
when
I created the 2nd partition of 2925 Megs it doesn't seem to be seeing that
as swap
space. I would like to know how to get it so that the system uses this 2nd
partition
as swap space...
When i do : df (i get)
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 49583 26838 18779 59% /
/dev/ad0s1f 9763091 862089 8119955 10% /usr
/dev/ad0s1e 19815 796 17434 4% /var
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
Question #1: how do i find out what the device name is for the swap
partition?
/dev/ad0s1x???
Question #2: how do i get it so that the system uses this partition each
time
it reboots as swap space?
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
Please respond directly back to me!
Brian
