How to mount swap partition auto when starting

[Guest]

Dear all
I have been installed Puppy in my hardisk. I have a swap partition and Could you tell me how to make Puppy auto mount it booting.
Thanks for your help

The swap partition can be used with the command swapon, for instance if my swap partition was /dev/hda4 then the command would be

Code: Select all

swapon /dev/hda4

You can add this command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it will execute automatically at bootup.
If you have multiple swap partitions/devices then you can use this command instead

Code: Select all

swapon -a

That will activate all of them at once. In fact, it can be safely used if you only have one swap partition and aren't sure which one it is.

Hi,

Basically, you add the swap partition to your fstab file in /etc .
