Hi

I recently went through the process of adjusting the swap space (as
set out in the FAQ).  I have 16Mb of RAM and set up a swap space of
32Mb.  The question is:  Is the mere process of labeling the disk
with a partition marked as "swap" all that is necessary to set up
more swap space?  Basically I just want to be sure that the swap
space is actually being used.

Are there any tools available to monitor swap usage?

Thanks in advance

Mike
