i think maybe the swap is not mounted correctly and might not be in use. if i give the " mount -l" command, i don't see my swap mounted (hda2)
so i should set a rule in my /etc/fstab ? and what should it say ? :
Code Sample
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 swap defaults 0 0
or should i set it elsewhere ?
thz in advanceswap is not mounted as normal drive partitions.
To see if a swap partition was created use the command
sudo fdisk -l
To see if swap is setup use the command
free
You should not have to setup an entry in fstab, as normally DSL/Knoppix will regenerate it and auto detects swap partitions.
To manage swap use the commands swapon swapoffok thanks a bunch !!
fdisk -l says " swap partition is 4,8GB" free says " swap available = o" mkswap /dev/hda2 says "ok i make a swap of 2GB" swapon /dev/hda2 says "ok done"
only 2 questions left:
- will it always activate swap on boot now ? or do i need to edit the swapon in bootscript? - why doesn't it fill the entire partition with swap. it uses only half of it.
i will install a web-cache server, i it might need loads of swap and mem.
greetsThe 2gb limit should be lifted in the next release v3.2 A swap partition should be auto detected upon next boot.thankz roberts, for your help on this.
