__Swapon__ is used to specify devices on which paging and |
| |
|
30 |
swapping are to take place. Calls to __swapon__ normally |
| |
|
31 |
occur in the system multi-user initialization file |
| |
|
32 |
''/etc/rc'' making all swap devices available, so that |
| |
|
33 |
the paging and swapping activity is interleaved across |
| |
|
34 |
several devices and files. |
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|

|

Normally, the first form is used: |

Display swap usage summary by device. This option is only |
| |
|
56 |
available if ''/proc/swaps'' exists (probably not before |

kernel 2.1.25). |

|

|
63 |
All devices marked as ``sw'' swap devices in |
| |
|
64 |
''/etc/fstab'' are made available. |

|

__-p__ ''priority'' |
| |
|
68 |
|
| |
|
69 |
|
| |
|
70 |
Specify priority for __swapon__. This option is only |
| |
|
71 |
available if __swapon__ was compiled under and is used |
| |
|
72 |
under a 1.3.2 or later kernel. ''priority'' is a value |
| |
|
73 |
between 0 and 32767. See swapon(2) for a full |
| |
|
74 |
description of swap priorities. Add __pri=__''value'' |
| |
|
75 |
to the option field of ''/etc/fstab'' for use with |
| |
|
76 |
__swapon -a__. |
| |
|
77 |
|
| |
|
78 |
|
| |
|
79 |
__Swapoff__ disables swapping on the specified devices |
| |
|
80 |
and files, or on all swap entries in ''/etc/fstab'' when |
| |
|
81 |
the __-a__ flag is given. |
| |
|
82 |
!!NOTE |
| |
|
83 |
|
| |
|
84 |
|
| |
|
85 |
You should not use __swapon__ on a file with holes. Swap |
| |
|
86 |
over NFS may not work. |
