I recently added a new disk to a 4.9 machine. I was having problems running out of swap space, so I used a couple gigs of this drive as another swap partition. It is listed as a swap partition in /etc/fstab. I couldn't actually find something that would confirm this, so hoping someone here can. I saw in "man swapon" something about only the first swap partition is used when the machine boots. The implication was any other swaps needed to be "turned on" afterwards. But, since everything in /etc/fstab gets mounted, I think I'm ok (I do not have the noauto flag set). The box reboots fine, so there aren't any errors. However, mount -p (or mount -pv) do not list swap partitions. So, are both swaps being used and is there a way I can tell? Thanks! Brent
