I thought that I could take an existing partition, split it into two smaller partitions, and then use one of them (sd0f) as an additional swap partition. However, things have not gone as smoothly as I would have liked... I modified /etc/fstab to be swap (/dev/sd0f none swap sw 0 0 ) and changed the disklabel on drive sd0 to also be swap, similarly to the b partition. However, although I cannot find in the man pages/sysadmin book anything additional that I need to do, the swapon -a returns an error, swapon: /dev/sd0f: device not configured If anyone would happen to know what the problem is, I would really appreciate their letting me know! Thanks, Mark D. Spiller
