[rhn-users] Adjusting swap space

[Eric Van Steenbergen]

Hello all,

 

For some bizar reason swap space on one of our servers is set to 0.

 

[root at RHESPIRSCH etc]# free

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

Mem:       1538852     227156    1311696          0      16948      99108

-/+ buffers/cache:     111100    1427752

Swap:            0          0          0

 

On another server we have here with the same OS output is:

 

[root at rhbelgium root]# ls

anaconda-ks.cfg  ck.bash_profile  install.log  install.log.syslog  lic.txt

[root at rhbelgium root]# free

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

Mem:       1025344    1003320      22024          0     227088     401564

-/+ buffers/cache:     374668     650676

Swap:      2338808      34944    2303864

 

Can anyone tell me what has gone wrong and what I can do/use to adjust the
swap space so that is back to normal? When I try to upgrade I get the error
that the system cannot access the rootvg/swap and the only thing I can do is
reboot. I checked /etc/fstab and they are identical. 

 

Sincerely,
