[DragonFlyBSD - Bug #1937] (Closed) vnconfig and swapfile

[bugtracker-admin at leaf.dragonflybsd.org]

Issue #1937 has been updated by swildner.

Description updated
Status changed from New to Closed

Setting up a swapfile just via vnconfig(8) does in fact work here (4.3 master), therefore I'm closing the issue.

advancer# truncate -s700M swap
advancer# vnconfig -e vn0 swap swap
advancer# swapinfo -k
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/da0s1b      67108864       32 67108832     0%    Interleaved
/dev/vn0           716800        0   716800     0%    Interleaved
Total            67825664       32 67825632     0%

It can also be configured via rc.conf:

swapfile=/path/to/swapfile

I don't know what was wrong at the time this bug was filed.

Hi,

probably there is something wrong or obsolete in:
  http://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/handbook-adding-swap-space/

lap# truncate -s700M /dati/swapfile
lap# chmod 0600 /dati/swapfile
lap# vnconfig -e vn0 /dati/swapfile swap
vnconfig: swapon: Device not configured
lap# vnconfig -l
vn0: covering /dati/swapfile on ad0s2h, inode 409
vn1: not in use
vn2: not in use
vn3: not in use
lap# ls /dev/vn*
/dev/vn         /dev/vn0s0      /dev/vn2
/dev/vn0        /dev/vn1        /dev/vn3
lap# swapon /dev/vn0
swapon: /dev/vn0: Device not configured
lap# swapon /dev/vn0s0
swapon: /dev/vn0s0: Device not configured

Best wishes,             \ferz
