Title: Swap disk (file)
Post by: Bernt on August 05, 2003, 12:22:31 AM

Hi!

I'm running out of diskspace on My SME server. Only 500MB left. Can I use it all or do the system need it for swap? Other Linux system I haved installed have a fixed size for the swap.

Regards

SME, like any other recent Linux distribution I've seen, uses a separate partition for swap.

Ok, thanks for the reply. Is there a way to see how big the swap partition is?

df -h

df -h wont show any information about your swap area, I think...

Try

swapon -s

instead....

Lasse, you're absolutely right.  I could have sworn df did, but I just tried and it doesn't.  I must have been thinking of "free -m" which displays free/used/cached memory and swap information.

Thanks for the correction.

Thanx!
They are all useful commands. :-)
Anyway, what happens if I use all free space on the HD?
