Hi Managers,
        I installed DUNIX 3.2c on an DEC 3000/700. Installation went fine.
I changed to deferred swap method by renaming /sbin/swapdefault. In
multiuser mode, swapon shows:
Swap partition /dev/rz8b:
    Allocated space: 65536 pages (512MB)
    In-use space: 724 pages ( 1%)
    Free space: 64812 pages ( 98%)
Total swap allocation:
    Allocated space: 65536 pages (512MB)
    In-use space: 724 pages ( 1%)
    Available space: 64812 pages ( 98%)
        However, when I go to single user mode, swapon -s shows 0 swap
space. (I stumbled upon this, when rebuilding the kernel failed due to
the not having swap space). The behavior is the same when I upgraded to
v3.2d. Did I do something wrong or is this a bug?

Thank you,
