Bind Solaris 10 swap file

Question

I have created an Oracle swap file to enhance my swap space. I have to do this for a Oracle Client installation.

After creating swap file I Run the swap command to specify the additional swap space by typing:

swap -a /directory/swap-file-name

Then I verify that the extra swap space was added by typing: swap -s

Now my Problem:

At a restart Solaris 10 the additional swap space is missing and must bind again. Is there any Option for an automatically bind?

Answer 1

you need to add this into the vfstab so you would add a line like this

/path/to/file - - swap - no -
