Slack 10 2.6.7 Swap Use Problem
I updated my kernel following the instructions with Slack 10 in /boot. When I booted into 2.6.7, it said that the swap format was obsolete and said to
bash# mkswap -v1 /dev/hda2
instead. So.... I did the following
bash# swapoff /dev/hda2
bash# mkswap -v1 /dev/hda2
bash# swapon /dev/hda2
Now when I push my laptop to the limits using up all RAM, it never uses the swap file. I've never seen it used when I type "free" in the bash. Am I misunderstanding the use of the swap file? To test it I open a lot of videos in xine to eat up memory yet it never uses the swap file. Anyone have any ideas? Heres the output of dmesg of the swap portion
"Adding 120476K swap on /dev/hda2. Priority: -1 extentents: 1"
