SWAPGEN.EXEC

SWAPGEN is a REXX exec, by David Jones, Adam Thornton, and Phil Smith III, to initialize a VDISK for Linux swap space. Distribution of SWAPGEN is governed by the Artistic License.

SWAPGEN can work either in DIAG mode or in FBA mode; choose the one appropriate to the discipline you have present in the Linux kernel. DIAG mode is generally higher-performance, and is the default.

When running in FBA mode, SWAPGEN requires RXDASD to function and uses the entire, unpartitioned VDISK; thus, when swapping to the device in FBA mode, you want to (for example) swapon /dev/dasdb or swapon /dev/dasd/0201/device. In DIAG mode you should continue to (for example) swapon /dev/dasdb1 or swapon /dev/dasd/0201/part1.

The VMARC file contains the updates to the module and control files, the EXEC, the RXDASD MODULE (for FBA mode), and the CMS HELP file.
