Swap past limit

Post by mrmajik45 »

Look at the picture the swap partition says it's WAYYYY past it's limit. I'm worried.

Clearly, the value reported is the used space of the entire drive.

You might want to check for bug reports.

It isn't on KDE, it's on google.

Try: "F5" to Refresh Devices,
or View -> Refresh Devices if on V4,
or Tools -> Refresh Devices if on V5.

On the command line do one of the following (each will show swap usage):
- top or htop (q to exit)
- free -k which should match swapon -s (== cat /proc/swaps)

By "glitch" do you mean what KDE's partition manager is reporting?

If you go to the Help menu and select, "About KDE Partition Manager", what version is it? It should be at the top, just under the title.

If you are looking for a gui, KDE Infocenter also reports swap under Memory.

Bug 367473 - Partition Manager seems to show swap partition is using more than its size

Unless you are on the current version on LM, I'm not sure how you'd update it. Perhaps someone else may know. The good news, you don't have a problem :-)

You cannot. All you can do is wait till a bug-fixed version will be released in the official software repositories.

Actually none of the KDE repositories are being used.
