Title: Swap file? Post by: gixie on February 06, 2008, 16:53:00 PM Hi all,
I have configured a swap file on a separate +256M partition... It is loaded at startup, but when I issue free it shows that it is not used at all (all of it is free) Why is that?

Swap is way slower than real memory. Title: Re: Swap file? Post by: schufti on February 07, 2008, 16:05:21 PM Hi,
if you have a large hd (120 or 160 GB) then you can test if swap is working by starting a e2fsck /dev/hda1. Without swap this crashes after some time ... schufti
