/proc doesn't display all the info.

vexer · 06-14-2003, 10:50 AM

less /proc/swaps contains nothing when I know on hda7 I have 1gig of swap space. I have /proc support in the kernel. /proc does work since less /proc/scsi/scsi does give me my 2 emulated drives.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be.

(less /proc/swaps (or cat) will display the top part that explains what each sections are for, but nothing beyond that.)

Did you run swapon? If the swap partition isn't in your /etc/fstab, it's not going to be started. Or, if you removed the swapon portion of your /etc/rc.d/rc.S startup file, it won't be started.

what about the swap entries in /proc/meminfo?

Nothing was changed in fstab or rc.S (I hardly play with any rc to the exception of rc.firewall and rc.local)

Swapon runs at boot time..

Heh, problem solved. I did a swapon -a and it said the hda7 device didn't exist. So I ran cfdisk and noted that swap was hda6 and not 7... problem solved
