Is it simultaneously unmounted, 1 GB, and 512MB? How should I read this? thanks
swapon /dev/mapper/SolusSystem-Swap
swapon: /dev/mapper/SolusSystem-Swap: read swap header failed
@brent I just noticed this part of the post (I did find the formatting a little hard to read), so I missed it, but it does look like you have a portion of your logical volume allocated for swap. Possibly it wasn't formatted as swap though?
Check it with this:
sudo swapon --show=NAME,TYPE,UUID,SIZE,PRIO,LABEL /dev/mapper/SolusSystem-Swap
If it indicates that it isn't swap, then format it as swap like this:
sudo mkswap /dev/mapper/SolusSystem-Swap
Then if you wish, you could add it to /etc/fstab
. It shouldn't hurt to have both in there, but you might want to mess with priorities. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Swap#Priority (That whole page has some good information about swap...)
Also, a note, I think you need to use sudo
with a lot of those commands you are using, like blkid
, swapon
, etc... (Perhaps you are already, but just not putting that part of the command in your posts...)
