I have been using Fedora 25 happily now since it's release, but when I happened to run /etc/fstab while trying to "find" a USB stick I noticed this output:
Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # /dev/mapper/fedora-root / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=a305554f-e0cf-47dc-8f9b-b8799276038d /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/fedora-home /home ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/fedora-swap swap swap defaults 0 0 /etc/fstab (END)
My question is: Should I be worried that it's NOT showing a SWAP partition? And could thi be why this laptop which has sufficient RAM is kind of slow? And finally how would I go about adding a swap partition from the command line (as opposed to a GUI...trying to learn how to do more in the magical "Little Black Box"!) Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance

Looks to me like you have a swap partition. use # swapon -s to see a summary of info about it.

It doesn't show a mount point because swaps are not mountable.
If you follow /dev/mapper/fedora-swap it will eventually lead you to a physical location.
cat /proc/meminfo will show, among other things, how much swap you have and how much of it is available.
Things that manipulate swap: /sbin/{mkswap,swapon,swapoff}

Use the `mount` command or `cat /proc/mounts`
I noticed this output:

It shows a swap partition. `cat /proc/swaps` to see what swap is in effect, and `free -m` to see how it is being used.
And could thi be why this laptop which has sufficient RAM is kind of slow? ...
No. Without swap, the computer would be fast, much faster than if it uses its swap, until it ran out of memory. If your computer is swapping, that would make it slow. `
Hi, Patrick is right. Fedora 25 is scheduled for only next week, 15 of November. See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/25/Schedule Regards, Rami Rosen בתאריך 9 בנוב 2016 23:18, "Patrick O'Callaghan" pocallaghan@gmail.com כתב:

What release? AFAIK F25 has not been released yet. Discussion should stay on the Fedora Test list until it has actually been released.

My apologies, I didn't realize that it hadn't been released already. Seems I've been using a beta? I'll just clam up about the touchpad until its officially unleashed on the masses! LoL!
Cheers!
