Sys V r2 version 2 swap bug

[Bill Stewart HO 4K-435 x0705]

[... Has anyone been able to change swap areas?...]
Yes, I do it all the time.  My system boots up with swap on the
root drive, which is boring; in the /etc/rc I do the following:

	swap -a /dev/dsk/1s1 0 70000	# Add 70Kblocks swap on 1s1
	swap -d /dev/dsk/0s0 14320	# Remove 0s0 swap.
	swap -l				# List what's left

You have to be careful of two things - 
	1) always allocate new swap space before you zap the
		old swap space, so you have SOME swap space.
	
	2) be careful if you delete a swap area when something's
		using it.  I haven't dug around enough to really
		understand what happens, but I normally remove swap
		areas only when there's not enough running to swap
		anyway.
