[TriLUG] Failure Copying Large Amounts of Data

[Steve Litt]

Good question. How would I find the size of my swap drive? See this:

slitt at mydesk:/d/at/books/mental$ grep swap /etc/fstab
# swap was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=984ca3a1-fbe2-41d1-addb-1c095c691a65 none            swap    sw              
0       0
slitt at mydesk:/d/at/books/mental$
