sharing swap fs
hi
I have one little question.
Can I use one swap fs for two unix?
I have one Linux, and soon one Solaris, I'm about to create the filesystem for Install Solaris, and I wonder if I can use swap space that I'm already have.
So there is not going to be two unix running at the same time, so I don't see a problem in using the same swap space for the two unix.
I'm right?

If you decide to try anyway, remove the following Solaris pakages:

SUNWpmux
SUNWpmu
SUNWpmr
SUNWpmowr
SUNWpmowu
SUNWpmowm

(Power Management Packages)

Regards. Hugo.
