There's also a distinction between whether a system swaps/pages onto a dedicated device and whether it exposes that device by some special name in /dev. I’m pretty sure that swapping in V6 took place to a major/minor number configured at kernel build time. You could create a dev node for the swap device, but it wasn’t used for the actual swapping. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
