Hello Alpha managers,
I have a question about increasing swap space. I have increased the
swap space on my Alpha by adding 1GB on another disk to the 256MB
already existing. I am doing this because I am going to upgrade my RAM
from 256 MB to 1024MB. My question is: Am I right in thinking that I don't
need to rebuild the kernel when increasing swap? I have checked
swapon -s after rebooting and adding the new swap to the /etc/fstab
and it indicates the new swap exists. My boss would like confirmation
that a kernel rebuild isn't necessary.
Thanks,
J. Scott Branscum
