Hello.
I use NetBSD 1.6.1/i386 since a while, and my memory requirements grew with
time. I am now in a situation in which I need more memory than RAM+swap allow.
I tried with swapfiles, with little luck: vmware hangs badly as soon as a
single page is written to them, and the whole machine with it.
The other choice would consist in resizing "/" and the swap, so that a few
more megs can be added to the latter.
Of course I don't know how I can do that easily :P
I can temporarily add a big-enough disk to hold "/"'s data (in a file), if
that can help (I guess it does).
Could anybody give me appropriate instructions to complete the task
successfully? :)
Thank you.
