Hi Tru64 Admins
I was looking for the best compromise between swap and AdvFS
efficiency. Thanks to Guy R. Loucks, Udo Grabowski,
Dr. Tom Blinn and Alan Rollow for their replies.
Both Guy and Udo agreed that swap in the middle of the disk
would be best. On the other hand Alan recommended against
having two AdvFS logs on the same disk.
The best advice was to invest in more memory to reduce the
need for swapping and/or put the swap on a separate disk on
it's own controller. Good advice but I have to make do with
the hardware I've got for the time being.
Tom says: You can put swap in the "a" partition; it will NOT
over-write the disk label.
However I decided to follow Alan's advice and have a small "a"
UFS partition which I can use as a backup root or for /tmp,
then have the swap on "b" with the rest for AdvFS on "g".
Regards
Ian
