Now this needs to be increased to 8GB.
I've been reading about increase SWAP space:
options are:
1. Create a new Swap on a new partition.
2. Increase the actual swap gparted software is needed
3. Create a new file using dd command
OK my question is I am thinking about using gparted to resize / and add more space to /swap but since creating a file with dd looks so easy
I want to know if the swap created with dd command behaves the same way as the swap created on a specific partition? I mean the same performance?
If they're all on the same spindle anyway, none of them is really 'better'. Creating a big blank file with dd is probably the safest, no partition editing involved, unless someone decides to delete the big "useless" file.
Ideally you want swap on a separate disk, so that use of swap doesn't impact other disk performance.
although i personally have never tested it, i have been told swap partitions work better than swap files.
Creating a swap partition is no more difficult than creating a swap file with dd
Hi,
I installed some packages required by an app built with python.
But when I try python setup.py install, I get the following error:
/opt/csw/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/5.2.0/../../../../sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/as: unrecognized option `-m32'
Could anyone tell me what's wrong... (4 Replies)

To find all the files in your home directory that have been edited in some way since the last tar file, use this command:

Hi
I have an integrity machine rx7620 and rx8640 running hp-ux 11.31. I'm planning to fine tune the system:
- I would like to know when does the memory swap space spill over to the device swap space?
- And how much % of memory swap utilization should be specified (swap space device... (6 Replies)

created default partition /dev/sdb1 50M using fdisk. i did write the changes.

I have a HP-UX B.11.23 server with 16 gb of memory 84 gb of swap configured. I am being pushed to define more swap to try and get more Tuxedo domains to start. At what point do we have too much swap for the amount of memory? Thanks in advance. (11 Replies)
Hi all,
I am parsing command line options using getopts.
The problem is that mandatory argument options following ":" is taking next option as argument if it is not followed by any argument.

Hello and thanks in advance.
I have a Sun box with raid 1 on the O/S disks using solaris svm.
I want to unmirror my swap partition, and add the slice on the second disk as an additional swap device. This would give me twice as much swap space.
I have been warned not to do this by some... (3 Replies)
