cat /etc/mtab | grep -i swap
Gives me nothing !! root@linux:/home/wolfi > cat /etc/mtab | grep -i swap root@linux:/home/wolfi >
Information about swap is not in /etc/mtab but in /proc/swaps in 7.2:
# cat /proc/swaps
Gives me nothing: root@linux:/home/wolfi > cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority root@linux:/home/wolfi >
Check that the swap partition exists: # fdisk /dev/hda ... /dev/hda3 7 31 200812+ 82 Linux swap
Yes it is there: ..... /dev/hda3 140 205 530145 82 Linux swap
# /sbin/swapon /dev/hda3
This gives me: root@linux:/home/wolfi > /sbin/swapon /dev/hda3 swapon: /dev/hda3: Invalid argument So, unluckily no fix up to now! Thanks guys for your suggestions. What was the swap entry in 7.1, 7.0, or so ??? Can anyone look up this ??? I would like to check this out because then it did work !! Pri=42 is nothing but a tribute to the late Douglas Adams I presume :-)) Cheers ... Wolfi ================================== mailto:wolfi_z@web.de
