Put entries in /etc/fstab for both disks, this will cause them to be mounted automatically at boot time, otherwise the next autodiskmounter will mount them when you try to access things on them. Look at the man page for mach_swapon for info on allocation of the swapfile. -- dan pritts computer systems consultant university of michigan itd consulting and support services dan.pritts@umich.edu (nextmail accepted) 313/998-6265
