That's weird. I don't reproduce that behavior. Anyway, you can just temporarily comment out the vfstab line for "swap -a" to work, or simply reboot while keeping the line intact.

I did that and then I could see the swap size increase to 6.5G.

But after reboot it is again down to 800 MB.

I am thinking that just to enable the process of installation I will use this temp increase of swap space. Hope that will work.

I have couple of qusns -

Why do I see two swap space - one in /tmp and another in /var/run. Is that normal?

I can see a huge core file. What is the significance of that?

Please post the output of this command:
Code:
grep swap /etc/vfstab

You do not see two swap space, just two (or more) filesystems backed by virtual memory. No big deal.

Hi jlliagre,

It worked. I had removed the /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap from /etc/vfstab file instead of commenting it.

I followed your instruction and put back the above path in the fvstab file and it worked.

Thanks
Sumeet
