Swap on Vinum does not work on 5.x: the swap code insists on GEOM. > I believe with -CURRENT that vinum might not work right, and gvinum > might be the only option.

They're both currently in the tree, and different parts of each work. > When 5.2 is released gvinum should be the default, and should > hopefully be in a finished state. For very large values of 2. 5.3 won't have a complete gvinum; hopefully 5.4 will only have gvinum, which will then be renamed vinum. Greg -- Note: I discard all HTML mail unseen.
