How do you move the swap to an other disk.
I am using V3.1 added a disk with the diskadd tool. This lets you create
swap on the new disk. I have modified swapdev description in the systems
file. ( Added 16 to the minor device number ). What else is there to do?
Do I have to link /dev/swap to the new swap area before the reboot with the
new kernel?

The manuals are not very clear it this point.
