Swap question
I would like to add more swap to swap file that's already exist.
Do I use swap -a command or swapadd command to add more swap space?..This is on Sun Solaris 8. What's the difference b/t swap -a and swapadd? |

swap -a will add a swap file to the system to use.
swapadd is a shell script which uses the swap command. You should use the swap command to add a file into the mix. FYI - you cannot increase the size of the swap file with swap. See the mkfile command. You cannot increase the size of a file already being used as a swap file (unless it is under Veritas control). You would need to create a second file to get the total size you want. |
