Paging Space for BSD 4.3 System Managers

The following commands assist in managing paging space (also known as swap space):

chps(1) Changes attributes of a paging space
lsps(1) List attributes of a paging space
mkps(1) Add an additional paging space to the system
rmps(1) Removes a paging space from the system
swapoff(1) Deactives one or more paging space
swapon(1) Specifies additional devices for paging and swapping.

If a large paging space is required, place one paging logical volume for each hard disk. This allows scheduling of paging across multiple disk drives.
