I am running a Debian testing based distro on my PC which has three hard
disk in it SDA, SDB & SDC and their layout was as follows:
SDA
sda1 fat32 /boot/efi
sda2 ext4 /
sda3 ext /home
sda4 swap
SDB
unpartitioned
SDC
sdc1 ext4 /media/backup
I decided to move the swap file from sda to a new swap partition I made
on sdb which was set up as sdb1 (made the swap file with gparted, 10gb
same size as the one on sda) .
I turned swap off
I edited the fstab file and entered the new uuid for the swap file on
sdb1 then turned swap back on again.
I can see the swap file is on and being used (below a couple of minutes
after a reboot hence the low usage) and as I use the PC during the day I
see the amount of swap usage increase.
|mit@andora:~$ free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem:
7687 4117 942 519 2626 2781 Swap: 9999 3 9996 |
Now since making the change every morning when I come down to my PC both
my open web browsers will have crashed and swap is turned off (nothing
is programmed to run in browsers overnight), I did not have this issue
when swap was on sda4 I simply do sudo swapon -a in the morning and the
swap file is back up and running.
I have had a look in my log but to be honest I am not sure what log to
look at, I have looked on line but was unable to see anything obvious.
Can anybody advise please?
