Reserve swap space on virtual disk

---

Use the CMS reserve command to preallocate the swap space on the virtual disk, as follows:

    RESERVE LINUX SWAP b    DMSRSV603R RESERVE will erase all files on disk B(323). Do you wish to continue     Enter 1 (YES) or 0 (NO).    1    Reserving disk B    Ready; T=0.01/0.01 09:50:32    q disk b    LABEL  VDEV M  STAT   CYL TYPE BLKSZ   FILES  BLKS USED-(%) BLKS LEFT  BLK TOTA    LNXSWP 323 B   R/W    FB 9336  512        1      50000-99          0      5000    Ready; T=0.01/0.01 09:50:41    listfile * * b (date    FILENAME FILETYPE FM FORMAT LRECL      RECS    BLOCKS   DATE     TIME    LINUX    SWAP     B6 F        512     49574     49574  8/19/03  9:50:32 

Now the virtual disk is 99% full with a single file on it called LINUX SWAP. Notice that the swap file LRECL is the same size at the BLKSZ of the disk, and that they are both 512.
