Hello,
When I installed linux I don't create a swap partition, but I need it now.
I have the partition /dev/hda3, with 130Mb but how can I active it?,
how can I prove that the partition is active?
Thank you very much.
mkswap /dev/hda3 (prepares the swappartition] edit /etc/fstab, add the following line: /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 2 wapon -a (activates all swappartitions in /etc/fstab. Normaly this happens automaticly when booting) free (Shows memory usage) You should see a line: Swap: 130000 xxxxx xxxxx If so, your swap is working.
