Hey guys,
I have become very comfortable with ubuntu but there's just 1 problem.
I had deleted the swap partition because I wanted to extended the "/" partition with some empty space and the swap partition was coming between.
after that I remade the swap partition. I edited the /etc/fstab accordingly.
But still the computer sis not respond correctly...
After a bit of research, I put the Swap as a file.
The system finds the SWAP partition and succesfully switches it on but when i check the system monitor... It shows 0 % usage of the 2.0 GB swap!!.

I simply cant figure this out...
thx in advance

Hi abhs94. On my laptop I created a 2.9GB swap partition, and so far I've not seen it use more than a few MB of that, so I'd guess this is normal.
