Mass storage devices overview

Expanding swap space

When real memory fills with system processes or temporary files, the system must swap idle processes to disk. Swap space is located in one or more slices in your UnixWare disk partition(s).

If you use your system to run many processes, especially graphical processes, you might need more swap space. Also, if you add more RAM to your system after the initial system load, you might want to increase your swap space. See ``Adding swap space''.
