This is a very stubborn situation... We have one last thing to try before a reboot is necessary. We are going to temporarily trick the `swapoff` command by creating a "dummy" device file... Please run the following commands as **root**:
|
|
|
|
1. **Find the Major/Minor numbers:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls -l /dev/sda1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Create a temporary, dummy block device file:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Now, try to turn off the swap again.**
|
|
```bash
|
|
swapoff /dev/sda1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Verify the swap is gone:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat /proc/swaps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. **Clean up the dummy device file:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm /dev/sda1
|
|
``` |
