[comp.sys.apollo] use of swapon comand

fleureck@imec.be (Marc Fleureck) (06/26/91)

Hello,

The man pages of swapon ( bsd4.3/10.3 ) list the following bug :

	"... It is therefore not possible to make use of devices
	 which may be dismounted during system operaton"

Let's say I mount an external disk with mount or mtvol, does
this mean I cannot use the swapon command with this device as
an argument ?

So the only way to use the swapon command is to split a disk into
more than one logical volume ? ? 

Greetings,

	Marc.
