How to automatically mount swap partition?
1 answer
I ran swapon --show and its showing
/swapfile 4gb used O
/dev/sda6 partition 3.8gb used 0
My original swap partition was on sda5 and moved it to sda6 a while ago. How do I manage this? Do I remove the both and start over or delete one? Can someone please walk me through this

After rebooting, your swap file becomes useless/cleaned automatically. You can create a new one, but you'll want to delete the old one due to security concerns. You need to adjust your/etc/fstabto point to the new swapfile. You need to mount that partition to access the file. Alternatively, you can create a swap partition.

fstab is showing both swapfile and swap partition so its ok to just remove or comment out the first swap partition and then reboot correct?

In 18.04 there is no swap partition. It uses a swap file.
So unless you've made changes to the swap file, this is all you need to do.
Use gparted (sudo apt-get install gparted -y) to delete the swap partition and then resize your ext4 partion with the newly freed space.
The swap file doesn't use the partition so you can delete it without it affecting swap.
Then you can open 'System Monitor' to make sure your swap is on.
