I recently put more memory on a vax 750 and when I
used AUTOGEN to modify the system paramaters I discovered
a very painful "feature". It turns out that AUTOGEN
decided that I needed larger paging and swapping files
so it went ahead and created them. When the system
rebooted ("tried to reboot" that is) it choked saying
something to the effect that the paging and swapping files
were too fragmented to continue (boom). Wonderful...
So I decided to do a stand alone backup and reorganize
the disk. (Boom) It turns out that it too needs these
files.
Please save the flames: I realize that this is not specifically
AUTOGEN's feature.
