Upgraded to 17.1 and swap partition is not longer used

And my box keeps grinding to a halt.
I had to upgrade, as 17.04 was no longer supported, but the upgrade appears to have given me a swap file, and no longer uses the swap partition.
How do I map back to the partition?

I doubt that this just happened during the upgrade. You could trysudo swapon -ashould mount your swap partition, you can check if swap is enabled withfree. if that doesn't work, can you show us your fstab file,cat /etc/fstab?

sudo swapon -a should mount your swap partition, you can check if swap is enabled with free. if that doesn't work, can you show us your fstab file, cat /etc/fstab?– Robert Riedl

Your current configuration is using a swap file instead of a device. It is up to you if you chose to still use the file for swap. To enable swap on your device that is already configured:
sudo swapoff -a
sudo nano /etc/fstab and add this line
UUID=694dc408-79f0-4bfb-8f6b-1299707ef8aa none swap sw 0 0
If you do not want to use the file for swap then place a "#" at the beginning of the line or delete the line.
#/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
Then run:
sudo swapon -a

This is the correct way to get from a swapfile to the swap partition. What still bugs me, is how OP got there by simply upgrading ?

@ RobertRiedl It is strange, the swap partition should have been retained.
