Update

Hi

Thanks for that information. While reading through some notes I have the folder im trying to enlage is /tmp which from what i understand is a swap area. Will this still allow me to expand it with the commands you give me.

Thanks

Carson

#mkdir /files
#mkfile -24m /file/swapfile
#swap -a /files/swapfile

Put an entry in /etc/vfstab also.


Now check with
#swap -l

This should increase 24 MB in swap.
