    Hello Gurus,

    Thanks for all who rapidly responded my question.

    My Question

     I would like to reserve some swap space not being mounted under /tmp
    > directory. Users keep on puting their files and datasets and make the

    > /tmp directory full and hence the swap area.

    The solutions is

     limit size of /tmp filesystem.E.g. in /etc/vfstab

    swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes
    size=6144m

    Say My swap partitition is 8gb large. So even with full /tmp I have 2gb
    for swaping

    Thanks and Regards
