Hi,
I think I screwed up. Perhaps someone here can help me. I need more swap space on my FreeBSD 4.6 box. I followed the directions at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/adding-swap-space.html for "Creating a swapfile for FreeBSD 4.X". The example given in the handbook was for a 64 MG swapfile. I wanted to create a 200 MG swapfile. So for the command in the example that says: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/swap0 bs=1024k count=64 I typed instead: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/swap0 bs=1024k count=200
Looks like an error on that page in the handbook. That command produces a 64KB file not 64MB. Use count=200000 to get the size you want.

I put the swap file info in rc.conf:
swapfile="/usr/swap0" # aux swapfile
and enabled the swap file (as per the directions) by typing # vnconfig -e /dev/vn0b /usr/swap0 swap
Before I created the new swapfile, swapinfo gave me this information:
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/ad0s1b 115296 11588 103708 10% Interleaved
Now swapinfo gives me this:
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/ad0s1b 115296 8136 107160 7% Interleaved /dev/rvn0b 72 0 72 0% Interleaved Total 115368 8136 107232 7%
When I look at the size of the swap0 file I created in /usr, it is not the 200 MG I thought I was getting:
-rw------- 1 root wheel 204800 Apr 27 15:58 swap0
How can I undo this and redo it? What do I need to do to do it RIGHT this time??
Thanks,
Lisa Casey
