Thanks to all that responded. I've been a bit busy so I couldn't respond
to everyone. So looking at things today after yesterdays fiasco, it looks
like my 100 meg swap partition is corrupted. Monitoring the system today
using "top", this is what I saw. Never once did the swap file get used.
(Unless I'm reading this wrong. I made sure that I did a "swapon /dev/sda3"
to make sure the swap was active.
11:14am up 1:19, 1 user, load average: 7.27, 7.63, 7.16
474 processes: 473 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 6.5% user, 41.8% system, 0.0% nice, 56.3% idle
Mem: 192432K av, 189132K used, 3300K free, 500716K shrd, 6364K buff
Swap: 104416K av, 0K used, 104416K free 84024K cached
So any advice on how I should rebuild my swap partition or any
recommendations on URLS that would have some info on recreating this?
Again thanks to all those that have helped me so far,
David Edwards
