How to disable a Ram Swap permanently

[Lawrence Tsang]

Hi All,

     Originally I am using Ubuntu Karmic with no swap partition / swap file.
The Ubuntu system automatically initializes a 500M Ram Swap for me. Recently
I manage to create a 2G Swap Partition and install the Swap Partition by
adding a line in /etc/fstab.

     However, after booting my system, I find that there are in fact 2 swaps
on my system --- the Ram Swap and the Swap Partition. The listing after
running the "swapon -s" command is :

root at tkwinfo-desktop:/home/tkwinfo# swapon -s
Filename                Type        Size    Used    Priority
/dev/ramzswap0                          partition    515288    0    100
/dev/sdc3                               partition    2216960    0    -1

     The Swap Partition (/dev/sdc3) has only a priority of -1 while the Ram
Swap (/dev/ramzswap0) is still installed.

     I want to know that :
(1) Is the Ram Swap still necessary? If not, how to remove it.
(2) How to increase the priority of the Swap Partition.

     Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Regards
Lawrence
