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

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
It is there EXACTLY as you have it. I will use a LABLE soon as it
works good as it is.
