You need contiguous space to increase the existing swap partition, or at least additional space to add a second swap partition. You can use gpart for this task. A second swap partition can then be added via an /etc/fstab entry, for example: /dev/ada0p2 none swap sw 0 0 # existing 4 GB /dev/ada0p7 none swap sw 0 0 # added 64 GB Dynamically you can manage swap space with "swapon" and "swapoff"; see "man swapctl" for details. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
