Hi Tim,
SDB unpartitioned
...
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 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.
`swapon -s' will confirm the amount used from each partition, ensuring
it's using sdb1 as you expect, unlike free(1)'s output.
I have had a look in my log but to be honest I am not sure what log to
look at
I'd expect either `swap' or `sdb' to be mentioned near any problems.
Have you checked sdb's quality?
sudo -i dd if=/dev/sdb bs=128k of=/dev/null
Cheers, Ralph.

Hi Ralph
Here the reply from the DD I did on the drive
mit@andora:~$ sudo -i dd if=/dev/sdb bs=128k of=/dev/null
3815520+1 records in
3815520+1 records out
500107862016 bytes (500 GB, 466 GiB) copied, 9005.03 s, 55.5 MB/s
I did grep the /var/log/ with both sdb and swap and there was nothing in
the result that stood out to suggest as to why the swap file had been
unmounted tonight.
I am going to close both browsers tonight before I go to bed and then
see what the situation is tomorrow morning.
Regards
Tim
