G'day all,
This is an inconvenience that I would like to get to the bottom of. I
have a PII 233MHz 512 MbRAM running FC6. All is fine until swap reaches
about 25% used then the system hangs. It will run for days with the
swap at 10-15%. My first thought was to run badblocks to see if that
was the problem, since it is an old drive, but couldn't find the swap
device with mount.
My questions are: what would cause this system to hang when the swap
file is used?; where is the swap file?; if in the VG, how do I umount it
to run badblocks? Here is some output that may be useful.
Thanks.
