[CentOS] Apparently no swap configured

Nate

Thanks very much for the reply.

If that volume is not in use by anything else you should be perfectly able to do:

mkswap /dev/VolGroup00/swap swapon /dev/VolGroup00/swap

then add something like this to fstab: /dev/VolGroup00 swap swap defaults 0 0

Well it doesn't show up when I do 'df':

[root@mail ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 4.8G 446M 4.1G 10% / /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol02 1.9G 316M 1.5G 18% /var /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol03 9.5G 2.3G 6.7G 26% /usr /dev/sda1 99M 32M 63M 34% /boot tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol04 9.9G 172M 9.2G 2% /home /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol05 1.9G 35M 1.8G 2% /tmp

Also, as I said /dev/VolGroup00/swap is not listed in /etc/fstab, but it is listed in /dev/mapper/. Is that good enough confirmation that it is not in use?

I'm very curious how I managed to get into this situation, using the GUI install method. Any ideas on that? I'd prefer not to be in this situation again.

Thanks
