This file simply contains a _list_ of your swap partition(s). Just do a
"cat /proc/swaps". In my case this gives me:
Filename Type Size Used
Priority
/dev/hda5 partition 562232 134424 -1
Which means that hda5 is being used as swap, swap size is ~562MB of
which ~134MB are in use. If your swap partition is listed in this file,
then it's being used.
This is the first time in _months_ that I am using my swap at all (it's
simply because I run a big deltaiso). Usually, my swap usage is at 0MB
no matter what I do, so this is nothing to worry about. Actually, this
is a good thing, because it means that I have sufficient RAM for the
things that I am doing.
