Greetings list...
I'm running RH 7.3 with the latest kernel update(2.4.20-20.7). The
machine is a MySQL server that gets most of its activity overnight during
some batch processing. Since upgrading from the original kernel distributed
with 7.3, we've seen swap space used when non
nutes when it gets the the 'initialising SWAP space' (I can't remember

Hi folks,
for a while the gremlins have been playing with my PC, and although they seem
to have gone away now I still have one remaining.
When I boot up, although I don't see any error messages it hangs for a number
of minutes when it gets the the 'initialising SWAP space' (I
Upon reboot, both swap areas will be used. First, the swap partition read
from /etc/fstab and afterwards the swapfile from the "swapon swapfile"
command issued from /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Run "top" and you'll see the total
of both swaps.

Will it use the actual swap partition or only one
of them ?? just a question ??
or should it use both and the new swap would be more
or would it waste the swap partition ???

You could run parted and resize the partition that way. You will need
to reboot/reinit the machine in that case. Another option is to create

When we set up our test systems, we usually put 1 2GB Swap partition for
each real partition. Our systems usually have 3 or 4 versions of Linux
on them at a time, so we end up with plenty of swap space to use, even
with the 2GB maximum.

Hi all,
If you are not sure about how much disk space to devote to swap space,

While in fdisk, change the partition type from 83 (linux) to 82 (linux
swap).
Quit fdisk (using w to save the changes), then run "mkswap /dev/"
