This was preferable to doing the backup /restore routine, because we expect that we will use all the swap space we've allocated, at some point in the future. As far as I know, there is no on-the-fly disk repartitioning utility in BSDi like with AIX (too bad!). You know you've got the extra swap space with the pstat command. Check before and after adding more swap aprtitions. Good luck!
