Re: a quick question

You must have at least a small amount of primary swap on the boot disk. It does not have to equal the amount of installed memory.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

Hi George,

Yes, I believe a primary swap device - usually /dev/vg00/lvol2 - is necessary. It's not necessary that's it large - it just has to exist & be accessible.

Rgds,
Jeff

Yes, you must have a primary swap device. See man lvlnboot.

64 meg would be a good small amount to use
