Hi, all!

I'm developing a driver for a PCI card which will be used to attach some hard disks. Such error happens when I tried to test my driver:

1. When 1 HD with Novell OS is attached to the mainboard, another one is attached to my card. The system boots up successfully and the 2nd HD runs without mistakes.

2. When I have only 1 HD attached to my card with OS, the system boots up with some kind of mistakes. //No error reported on screen but my timeouthandler is called and the OS can't restart after one time boot up.
Later I attach this HD directly to mainboard and see such info in the VOL$LOG.ERR file:
Volumn mount had the following errors that were fixed:
Problem with file _SWAP_.MEM, length extended.
Problem with file _SWAP_.MEM, ole lenght = 0, new length=14680064

So anyone can help me to tell me why "_SWAP_.MEM" error happens? What's the difference with the boot-up process and normal read/write?

Thanks very much!

Amy
 
The SWAP file can be manipulated by doing the following:

To remove _SWAP_.MEM file, on System Console, type: SWAP DELETE <VOLUMENAME>

To move _SWAP_.MEM file to another volume, after SWAP DELETE <VOLUMENAME>, on System Console, type: SWAP ADD <VOLUMENAME>

For additional information how to limit _SWAP_.MEM file, or switches, type: HELP SWAP

Good Luck!
