swap off?

Ian Killer_1 — Mon, 17 Jun 2002 12:27:31 GMT

Is there any way to turn off swap on a filesystem without rebooting. I have a fs mounted and failed to "swapon" it properly because of a bad /etc/fstab entry. It doesn't appear in swapinfo, yet the filesystem won't unmount (device busy). Fuser -cu doesn't reveal anything.

Hi

Nope, the only way to remove swap is by removing the entry in fstab and rebooting the machine

Hi,

The is no way......you will have to remove the entry from /etc/fstab and reboot the system.

Hi Ian:

That's the downside. To turn on swap, no reboot is required. To turn it off, however, you must remove the entry from '/etc/fstab' and *reboot*.
