How Do I Swap Ubuntu?
Contents

Where is swap in Ubuntu?

Alternatively, you could also use sudo fdisk -l from the terminal to take a look at all the partitions. The line stating the FileSystem type as Linux Swap/ Solaris is the Swap partition (in my case the last line). You could also peek into your /etc/fstab file to see if swap is enabled by default on boot.

Does Ubuntu automatically create swap?

Yes, it does. Ubuntu always creates a swap partition if you choose automatic install. And it is not pain to add a swap partition.
