two partitions of swap: one active and one not active

[vittorio]

hello to all
yestarday i installed linux mint 19 on my dell 2-1 2017 notebook. all it works. it's fine and speedy.
a question:
i have seen that mint have created 3 partitions autmatically ( i used first option installation and erase all disk ). 2 partitions are of swap.
why are they 2? one is active the second is not active.

i have seen also that on monitor resource programm the swap dimension is always 0.
i have 4 gbyte ram.

thanks for helps

You need to add an another swap partition to the /etc/fstab file. sudo blkid tells the UUID

Code: Select all

lsblk -o +FSTYPE,UUID

and

Code: Select all

swapon

and, for good measure,

Code: Select all
