swap not being used

[Geofrey Rainey]

Linux will try to maximize its memory usage so there's nothing wrong
With 99% memory usage. Perhaps your system doesn't actually need
To be using swap?

Subject: swap not being used

I had a pretty old untouched server for a long time, which i thought to
bring back to production. But what i saw was it had no swap at all.


I crated two LVM of 2GB each, mkfs -t ext3  lvm, mkswap and a swapon. is
not showing me that it is currently being used, even when the entire
memorey got exhausted.

Any pointer/advuce guys? Am I missing something?
