Hi scanner, You can use a vnode disk for swapping. Here is an example for vn-swap (64Mb) 1. Put in your kernel configfile a line "pseudo-device vn" and recompile your kernel. 2. cd /dev; sh ./MAKEDEV vn0 3. dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/swap0 bs=1024k count=64 4. vnconfig -ce /dev/vn0c /usr/swap0 swap You can put step 4 into your /etc/rc.local to enable it on boottime.
