have 2 swap files



I have 2 swap files.
But currently only one of them is activated.
Will they work seamlessly? i.e. when one fills up does it begin on the
other one?
or does it interleave?

here is what i think i need to do, but i want someone to tell me if this
would be the correct way to do it.

this is what is in my fstab right now for swap
/dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0

my other swap device is /dev/hda7

so should i add to my fstab the following line?
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0

and if so, shoould i then do a swapon -a ???


if this is right - maybe i AM getting the hang of linux after all!

thanks.

Jerry
