9839.0. "No page/swap disk, turning off paging" by DV780::ENGQUIST (Eric Engquist) Thu May 15 1997 12:38

    I have a customer at LLL National Labs who wants to run
    totally diskless.  I know we can run dataless, but we need
    a page/dump/swap disk locally.  The claim the can lock
    Linix into memory and not do any paging/swapping, hence
    they do not need a local disk.  Can we do this with Digital
    Unix.  (e.g. no local page/swap disk) and turn off paging
    and swapping (e.g. everything residing in memory)

	See Notes 5583 & 7450 - short answer is we can do diskless but you can't turn off paging/swapping - just make sure you have enough memory so you don't have to swap! If you do, using the Diskless Driver for Digital UNIX, it will swap over the net to a remote pagefile. Hope this helps! Lee
