What is strange is that man swapon says -s is equivalent to cat
/proc/swaps. I do not have a /proc/swaps to be found. Hmm.. Thoughts?
You should. I do:
cer@nimrodel:~> cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used
Priority
/dev/hdd7 partition 6297440 589736 42
Let me correct that. I do have a swaps it has the permissions:
[root Rankin-P35a:/home/david] # ll /proc/swaps
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-09-20 07:33 /proc/swaps
The permission would seem to prevent writing to swap. What should the
permissions for swap be?
Permissions are correct.
That's just an informational, virtual file, not the real swap. And any
way, a user or its program do not write to the swap: it is the kernel who
does.
