This is a fairly old installation
root_at_oekoalpha> uname -a
OSF1 oekoalpha V2.0 240 alpha
which has memory problems
Sep 21 11:52:19 oekoalpha vmunix: swap space below 10 percent free
Sep 21 11:52:20 oekoalpha vmunix: process (pid = 5597) killed because of no swap space
The machine is already in lazy allocation mode. It has currently 64 MB of
RAM and 128 MB of swapspace. I have an unused partition of another 100 MB on
this machine, but this partition is under control of the logical volume
manager:
# Old Swap 128 MB
/dev/rz3b swap1 ufs sw 0 2
# Secondary Swap 100 MB
/dev/rootvg/workspace swap2 ufs sw 0 2
When I try to activate this swapspace, I get
root_at_oekoalpha> swapon -av
swapon: /dev/rootvg/workspace: device not configured
root_at_oekoalpha> swapon -s
Total swap allocation:
Allocated space: 16384 pages (128MB)
Reserved space: 7434 pages ( 45%)
Available space: 8950 pages ( 54%)
Swap partition /dev/rz3b:
Allocated space: 16384 pages (128MB)
In-use space: 7434 pages ( 45%)
Free space: 8950 pages ( 54%)
Question 1: Is it possible to use the above logical volume as additional
swap space? Would an upgrade to 3.2 remedy the situation?
Question 2: If it is possible, what do I have to do to make it work?
