To see if a swap partition is running, you can use top or free. If it shows anything in swap, it is running. Now, to get a swap running, do this: edit /etc/fstab and add this as the second line /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 The reason I say second line is that normally the root partition is on the first line. It just makes things nicer in the file Now that the line is there, do wapon /dev/hda3 Now do free. You should see stuff in the swap part of the output.

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.
