Hello,
I set up NetBSD to allow for 32 MB of swap due to limited drive space.
Is there a way (ala Solaris 2.X) to statically allocate a new swap file
from the available drive space on the disk? The app we're using
(xplot) wants more swap and behaves boorishly without it. Assuming that
the answer is no; Is there another way around this problem?
Thanks,
Jim Palmer
