Upon reboot, both swap areas will be used. First, the swap partition read
from /etc/fstab and afterwards the swapfile from the "swapon swapfile"
command issued from /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Run "top" and you'll see the total
of both swaps.

Will it use the actual swap partition or only one
of them ?? just a question ??
or should it use both and the new swap would be more
or would it waste the swap partition ???

You could run parted and resize the partition that way. You will need
to reboot/reinit the machine in that case. Another option is to create
a swapfile on a partition t
mb rule, and need not be followed strictly. Now if you really want to
increase swap space, the easiest path is to just add a second swap partition.
Linux will spread swap usage among all active swap areas.

Unless you left space adjacent to the swap partition on the disk, you
cannot increase its size,
Hello,
How can I increase the swap size on production system? We added more RAM and
I need to increase the swap space.

When we set up our test systems, we usually put 1 2GB Swap partition for
each real partition. Our systems usually have 3 or 4 versions of Linux
on them at a time, so we end up with plenty of swap space to use, even
with the 2GB maximum.

I understand
Does anyone know what the expected behaviour is if an 8GB swap partition
exists on a system with 4GB RAM? Will Linux still use the swap?

Why would you want swap to show up with df? According to the man page,

You don't need to format the partition; just set its type to swap in

Hi all,
If you are not sure about how much disk space to devote to swap space,
you can be empirical about it. Install MRTG, either from the Redhat RPM
or from source (compiles cleanly) and write some scripts to monitor
memory and swap space usage. After some time, check the graphs to see
how much

I have confusion about swap and LILO and wish you can answer me

Three swaps parition?
Space is double or 1.5 of the RAM
2/ if I don't need dual boot, LILO is no need to install on system?

You can't increase partition sizes without repartitioning obviously.
You can add a swap file though:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/swap.file bs=1k count=1024

guys,
how do I increase the swap partition size w/o repartitioning ?

Do You Yahoo!?
Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger.
This compaq machine still installs to the capacity of the swap
partition and then sends the termination signals.
I'm getting slightly ticked off by this but i'm open for
suggestions.
Thanx.
