Hi,
Because I am running out of swap space sending many emails at once,
I would like to increase it from the existing 32MB ( with 32MB real ).
Following the 4 steps in the handbook to allocate a file for some
swap space, yields the error message from the vnconfig :-
vnconfig: open: Device not configured
Step 1: cd /dev; sh ./MAKEDEV vn0
Step 2: dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/swap bs=1024k count=128
Step 3: chmod 0600 /usr/swap
Step 4: swapfile="/usr/swap" added to /etc/rc.conf
and
vnconfig -ce /dev/vn0c /usr/swap swap
Runing 3.1 generic which the handbook suggests would have pseudo_device vn 1,
but dont know how to check that either.
Any ideas appreciated,
thanks
james.
