10.3: Move swap to another partition in Panther
Federico, here is the output of the command you suggest:
10.3: Move swap to another partition in Panther
If that's your output from Panther, then I would have to suggest you have some other mods going on; J. Schrier himself will tell you that SwapCop 1.1.2 will not function due to a change in load order of Startup Items versus RC code. If it's working, I'd guess it's because someone commented out the dynamic pager line in /etc/rc, or, you've still got your /etc/rc file from Jaguar.

As I sed I (and others, people I know that is) have used SwapCop to successfully relocate swap file in 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3. Period.

I never meant to imply that using SwapCop was at all dangerous -- not sure where you read that into my statements -- indeed, SwapCop was not only a simple, elegant, easy to use solution in Jaguar, but Joshua Schrier and Scott Boone had the intelligence and foresight to allow SwapCop to fail gracefully in the event that the OS or /etc/rc file were to change in future. For most people under Panther, this is the case.

Ok, let's get this straight: with my original post I did not mean to criticise the suggested strategy for swap relocation, but just point out an (easier) alternative that worked for me (and others); no animosity expressed or implied. That sed, I'm not knowledgeable enough of the OSX boot process to get into the technicality of the discussion. I DO NOT MEAN TO BE POLEMIC.

For the sake of completeness, this is /etc/hostconfig (the second file that SwapCop modifies in your system): |
