Does the 5MB swap partition on the >first disk still get used, or does it end up being wasted...? I'm swapping to both of my disks. The first disk is enabled automatically (/dev/sd0b) and the second one is added via my fstab file. All that was required was to add the additional swap disk to the kernel file in the config file .... config "386bsd" root on sd0 swap on sd0 and sd1 ... I don't even have my first disk in my /etc/fstab file (though I suppose I could). Here is that secondary entry.. /dev/sd1b none swap sw It is enabled by swapon in /etc/rc. Running swapinfo shows. root:/root # swapinfo Device 512-blks Used Available Capacity /dev/sd0b 33696 0 33696 0% /dev/sd1b 67488 0 67488 0% Total 101184 0 101184 0% root:/root # Both are being used.
