I have no swap listed when I run top. This is not true but the swap

much larger swap on the other hard drive and it worked great.
Now just one hard drive and today I used fdisk and redid this hard
drive to have the same number of partitions but the /dev/sda3 is now 2
Gb. I used mkswap /dev/sda3 and it seemed to work but perhaps not
because top still says no swap... I will read man mkswap and see if
there is something else I need to do.
I forgot swapon -a and when I did that there is a huge swap file in
top. So that works now.
Isn't there another thread discussing this? And before you start another
thread ranting about how you have to do a swapon everytime you reboot,
is the swap partition declared in /etc/fstab like below?
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
