        Hello managers,

        I have the following problem :
        I installed DU V4.0B on my alpha and it works so far good.
        But I cannot give the former swap space.

        Dislabel -r /dev/rrz3c says :
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
  a: 17448592 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # .....
  b: 307200 17448592 unused 0 0 # .....
  c: 17755792 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # .....


df :
/dev/rz3a 16925256 11694204 3538526 77% /disk1

fstab:
/dev/rz3b swap2 ufs sw 0 2
/dev/rz3a /disk1 ufs rw 0 2


and when I try tu run swapon -a, I have the following error :
Partition(s) which overlap /dev/rz3b are marked in use.
If you continue with the operation you can
possibly destroy existing data.
CONTINUE? [y/n]



        What does it mean and what can I do.

        Many TIA

        JEAN
