How to find out whether swap is mounted? How to (u)mount it?

Hi,

I use Knoppix 5.1.1, and the subject actually sums it up: Once I booted, how can I find out whether SWAP is actually mounted, and with which commands can I mount/umount it?

Regards

"swapon -s" will list used swap space, "swapoff" will allow you to stop using it. See "man" for details

Also, "apropos swap" would have hinted you.
