how do i know if my swap is working?
 

i just rebuilding my linux box, this time i created the partition/fulesystem manually.

i managed to boot up the sytem already, how can I ensure my swap is working?


Thanks

two ways:

1) open up 836547253 programs and see if your hard drive starts getting throttled.

or

2) look for the swapper kernel process. on my system its kswapd:

$ ps wuax | grep kswapd
root 78 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S Dec26 0:06 [kswapd0]

"swapon -s" might be easiest.

thanks.;) ;) ;)
