Disable Swapping Command
Question
SIMULATION -
Which command will disable swapping on a device? (Specify ONLY the command without any path or parameters.)
Explanations
swapoff -or- /sbin/swapoff
The command to disable swapping on a device in Linux is:
swapoff
This command disables swapping on all devices that have active swap partitions. To disable swapping on a specific device, you would specify the device name as an argument to the command. For example:
bashswapoff /dev/sdb1
This would disable swapping on the device /dev/sdb1.
It's important to note that disabling swapping on a device will cause all data stored in the swap space to be lost. Therefore, it's recommended that you first use the "free" command to check if there is any swap space being used, and if so, move it to another device before disabling swapping on the original device.
