[net.general] Swap devices

evans (04/12/83)

I have been trying to add an additional swapping device with no sucess.
The system in 4.1bsd on an 11/780.  When I issue the 'swapon /dev/hp1c'
(it's on RM03) i get the message '/dev/hp1c: no device'.  I've tried 
adding the device during multi-user operation and also during system
startup but got the same results.  The /dev/ directory is ok and the disk
can even be mounted for use, but still it happens.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Barry Evans @ decvax!wivax!evans

Many thanks to all of you who offered solutions to my question.  
I've got a good idea of what has to be done now and where to read up 
on it.
