boatman9 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) I just installed 2009 spring. The swap partition is sda5, about 287 MB. I ran top and noticed that Swap total is 0k. Does that means my swap partition is not working? top - 15:36:40 up 5 min, 2 users, load average: 5.57, 3.20, 1.33 Tasks: 72 total, 5 running, 67 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 90.1%us, 9.6%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.3%si, 0.0%st Mem: 254392k total, 168932k used, 85460k free, 7068k buffers Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 83476k cached Edited September 9, 2009 by boatman9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux99 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 It looks like it's not active. Run swapon -s in a terminal to list active swap partitions. Also check /etc/fstab to see if it's in there: grep swap /etc/fstab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Batson Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 See the first post in this thread for checking your swap partition and fixing it if need be. The information is a little old, but you should be able to figure it out. http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=91474 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
