The original question was:
>Dear managers,
>By now most have figured out that the /sbin/swapdefault link to the
>default swap space area turns on "eager" swap space allocation mode.
>What I am curious about is how to add additional swap space in "eager"
>mode. If I just add the swap2 entry on /etc/fstab as usually will it be
>added in "eager" mode also or will it be added in "lazy" mode?
>Thank you very much.

Many thanks to: John Kohl <jtk_at_atria.com> and Dr. Tom Blinn
<tpb_at_zk3.dec.com> for their quick and most similar answers.

To quote Dr. Blinn: "There is only one swap policy in effect per system --
"eager" or "lazy"." Thus if the /sbin/swapdefault link exists when the
system boots, "eager" mode applies, no matter how many how many swap areas
exist (which makes great sense). Once again thanks for the help!
