@ -159,13 +159,21 @@ affects compatibility with existing NetBSD products.
The following products may need the suggested work-around to
work in NetBSD _VER:
* Swap configuration is now entirely in the domain of the user
and as such all swap partitions need to be added to /etv/fstab.
Common symptoms of upgrades missing this vital step include
machine death during builds, and such. Check the new swapctl(8)
manual for more detail on how this is done. Example fstab entrys:
/dev/sd3b none swap sw,priority=0
/dev/sd6b none swap sw,priority=5
* Swap configuration
Description:
Swap partittion configuration is now entirely in the domain
of the user and as such all swap partitions need to be added
to /etv/fstab. Common symptoms of upgrades missing this
vital step include machine death during builds, and such.
Fix:
The most common position for a swap partition is the `b'
partition of the drive the root file system is on. For
diskless systems, check the new swapctl(8) manual for more
detail on how this is done. Example fstab entrys:
/dev/sd0b none swap sw,priority=0
/dev/sd1b none swap sw,priority=5
