Hello,
Just in case anyone wants to follow my original problem in the future, I resolved my no swap problem according to Nate's advice as follows:
1. Confirmed that /dev/VolGroup00/swap was not in use by the system 2. Ran the following commands: mkswap /dev/VolGroup00/swap swapon /dev/VolGroup00/swap 3. Added the following to fstab: /dev/VolGroup00/swap swap swap defaults 0 0
Swap partition now showing as follows, using 'free': total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3960252 463208 3497044 0 30876 350164 -/+ buffers/cache: 82168 3878084 Swap: 2031608 0 2031608
Thanks to the list and Nate in particular for the assistance.
