displaying swap space size with df

durden2.0 · 07-13-2003, 10:59 PM

I am trying to see how big the default redhat install made my swap space (just curious). I usually use df -h to show the filesystems. However, this does not show the swap space, /dev/hda3. I was wondering how else I can display the size of the swap space and make it human-readable like the -h with df does? I can see the swap space and stuff with fdisk, but I wanted an easier way to read it and such. Thanks!!

fdisk -l | grep swap
/dev/hda3 1265 1325 461160 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdb2 14 71 465885 82 Linux swap

Try using 'free' and/or 'top' to display the swap size/usage. As for a -h option, I don't either one of those have it. (the human readable option). But I am sure there are graphical tools that are in -h mode (check KDE's control center, sounds familiar...)

Cool
