I used to have the line
swap -a /dev/dsk/1s2 0 16592
in /etc/rc2.d/S10swap, for automatic installation of extra
swap space on my second drive. This seemed to work ok... but
if a large enough process was swapped out to actually
make reference to it, I would start to see garbage in the
printout of
ps -ef
even though the processes in question worked fine. This is with
uport 386; unfortunately, I cannot recall whether the release was
3.0e or its predecessor. I concluded that, at least in microport's
implementation, swap -a is unhappy when called with space
on another drive than the primary one. I finally broke down and
remade my disk partitions.
