No Swap
Can someone help me figure out why I don't seem to be using the swap
partition.
Here is an output of fdisk -l
Disk /dev/hda: 10.0 GB, 10056130560 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19485 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 18617 9382936+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 18618 19485 437472 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 18618 19485 437440+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Actually, I had it previous set such that hda2 was teh swap and there
were no other partitions. But this also didn't work.
And here is an output of fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
Nonetheless, after a reboot top shows:
top - 20:35:11 up 58 min, 3 users, load average: 0.28, 0.18, 0.11
Tasks: 91 total, 1 running, 89 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie
Cpu(s): 5.9% us, 1.6% sy, 0.0% ni, 92.1% id, 0.0% wa, 0.3% hi,
0.Mem: 256728k total, 247288k used, 9440k free, 3864k buffer
Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 70400k cached
Why?
What can I do to get my swap partition being used as swap?
