How to display the size of swap?

ggyyree · 11-06-2009, 10:31 AM

A quick question, how to display the size of swap under OpenSuse Linux?

I use fdisk -l but it returns the size unreadable. How can I display the size in megabytes?

Thanks!

Hello ggyyree,

I'm not sure what exactly you mean with "size of swap". The swapspace (size of the swappartition):

Code:

fdisk -l /dev/hda

if it resides on your hda-drive.
The amount of swapspace which is used in the moment:

Code:

free -m

where the "-m" means MB. This will list the total and the used amount of both, RAM and swapspace.

try this way:
in terminal type:
sudo su[enter]
UR password when prompted
gparted[enter]

there U can choose UR main partition , in the list above U can see the swap partition size.
I hope it helps
