How to know how many swap space exist in system
When I started using linux I was curious to know from where I can get info, how many swap space exist in system.
I hope this post will help the linux beginners.
To know about how many swap space exist in system either it is in activated or deactivated use the given below command.
cat /proc/swaps
Given below is reference of my system
root@ubuntu:/# cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /swapfile-2 file 524284 0 -2 /swapfile-additional file 1048572 0 -1 /dev/dm-1 partition 1044476 0 -3 root@ubuntu:/#
To know how many swap space are in Activated states
Use below given command
swapon -s
Below is the reference of my system
root@ubuntu:/# swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /swapfile-2 file 524284 0 -1 /dev/mapper/ubuntu-swap_1 partition 1044476 0 -2 root@ubuntu:/#
