Re: Swap problem



If you have a normal OpenBSD system with a swap partition on b, then
it is automatically used.  You don't have to turn swap on to use it--it
happens at boot time.

I just did a swapon /dev/wd0b command and got a device busy, so I'll
bet thats your problem.

Hi,

I'm using OpenBSD 2.7 in a Intel machine.

The swap is unavailable and when I try to start it with swapon /dev/sd0b,
I got the following error:

swapon: /dev/sd0b: Device busy

What should I do to use the swap?

Thanks in advance,

Christiano Anderson
