The fun I remember from installing OS4.0 and setting up the clients is
that I wanted to distribute the swap files over two disks : /export/swap
and /export/swap1. The install program asked all the right questions got
all the right answers and just over half way through complained there was
not enough space in /export/swap. This is before it runs setup_client
which may explain why the latter doesn't bother checking.
It appeared to be adding the total size of the swap files I declared,
assuming they were all in /export/swap and refusing to let me add more. I
couldn't use install to add more than could be contained in /export/swap
even if they were distributed in other partitions.
I recited the usual incantations to the Gods of The Nearly-Right-Software
and did the rest by hand.
