The "swapinfo" command will display information about what swap partitions you have mounted. It may not be mounted at all. e.g. the output on my machine is... Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/wd0s1b 153600 0 153472 0% Interleaved /dev/wd1s1b 153600 0 153472 0% Interleaved Total 306944 0 306944 0% If it's just a matter of one of them not being mounted, you'll need to use the "swapon" command to mount it now. To have it automatically mounted durring future reboots and entry needs to be added to /etc/fstab that essentially looks like the following. /dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 Hope this helps, -Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Marcelo Sent: Friday, March 17, 2000 5:10 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: max swap size? Thanks or your quick response... but it only sparked new questions! ;-) How do I know if they partition is properly? Should I have 1 750 meg partition or a few smaller ones on different drives?
