your're just bragging... right?

Yeah, just fooling around. This is a home machine that I use to serve up mail and websites for people. Weird that swap isn't showing up. I just verified that /etc/fstab has a swap part listed. Weird.

My system has swap enabled, according to mtab. Its 5 gig and mounted as swap. How can I verify that swap was enabled? I quickly looked through logfiles and found no errors indicating that swap has a problem. Does df show swap partitions? -Jim

i would use 'free'

nope -- trey
Ok, so I did a "free" to determine if swap is enabled and I got jrn@falcon:~> free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1033188 992744 40444 0 44768 810888 -/+ buffers/cache: 137088 896100 Swap: 2097136 21648 2075488 jrn@falcon:~> Now my swap partition is SUPPOSED to be 5Gig.

AFAIK, there is a limit of 2 GB per swap partition. I don't know if the limit is still there in the newer kernels. You can generate 5 GB of swap by splitting it up into 3 swap partions: 2 GB, 2 GB, 1 GB. -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf http://www.trusoft.za.net <-------------------------------------------------> < The box said: Requires Windows 95 or better... > < So I installed Linux > <-------------------------------------------------> Disclaimer and Confidentiality Warning This message is intended for the addressee only.

Ok thanks again folks for the information. Do I just create three seperate swap partitions and the kernel will handle them properly or do I need to do something special with them? -Jim-

No, was just messing around. Its really absurd how much space I ended up with, but I wanted to fill up my 3Ware Escalade 7500 Raid card so that meant 4 drives. The sweet spot as far as drive size vs price was 4 60 drives. So I ended up with an absurd setup. Just goofing around. :-) -Jim-

Seems a pretty bad partitioning scheme. You have an absolutely huge / which has little chance of ever being used (OK, for a home machine you probably have more disk space than you know what to do with, but still), and a smaller /home and /usr which do stand a chance of being used. You should probably create /var as a separate partition as well because /var is frequently written to and creating it as a separate partition will help stop / (and therefore /opt) from being fragmented slowing down disk access.
