You added the B partition of an RA82 (or similar) as additional swap space. Did you also add a line to /etc/fstab to tell swapon(8) to start using that device for paging and swapping. The line should look something like: /dev/ra#b::sw:0:0::: You can fill in the '#' with the drive number. -- Alan Rollow alan@nabeth.enet.dec.com
