Hi all!
NetBSD-1.6.1 on Cobalt Qube2
80GB H/D - 256MB RAM - 200 MHz MIPS chip
I'm struggling to understand something that seems like an anomaly:
According to top I have a 512MB swap partition
Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free
According to df -m I'm just not sure
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0a 28707 756 26515 2% /
/dev/wd0f 2016 6 1909 0% /var
/dev/wd0g 484 0 460 0% /tmp
but....
According to *webmin* /swap is there and - although apparently not in
use currently (which in itself seems odd) - otherwise seems perfectly
OK - as shown below:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
/ OpenBSD Unix Filesystem (ffs) /dev/wd0a Yes Yes
Virtual Memory Virtual Memory (swap) /dev/wd0b No Yes
/var OpenBSD Unix Filesystem (ffs) /dev/wd0f Yes Yes
/tmp OpenBSD Unix Filesystem (ffs) /dev/wd0g Yes Yes
Key:
1. Mounted as
2. Type
3. Location
4. In use?
5. Permanent?
Can anyone help me understand what's happening here, and whether there
is something I should be doing that I'm currently not?
Regards & TIA,
-Colin
