Hiya,
After a while of using 5.3RELEASE, i have noticed a small problem, my
swap partition isnt getting used. Well its not a small problem
considering that i have only 256mb ram on this machine.
boredom# swapctl -l
Device: 1024-blocks Used:
/dev/ad0s1b 482112 56
this i suppose shows that some of it is used but the amount used never
increases. I'm currently using 100% memory (installing openoffice from
ports, finally).
It is in /etc/fstab as:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0
I've tried using swapon -a to add it and it doesnt seem to have worked.
Its also does not show in df -ha ,though i cant recall if it is
supposed to be there. Though i dont think it has to be mounted?
