Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG hello a while back i asked some questions about running out of swap and got excellent answers (thanks) ... this leads to my next question what is the best and simplest/safest way to increase swap ? suppose i have (installed) a fully allocated large hdd with 60% utilisation and a couple of old 270 mb hdds lying around - do i just increase swap on the existing drive (if so, how do i do this ?) ... or do i add these older drives to the other ide controller and define them as swap .. (again, if so, how do i do this ?) tia rudi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
