I was reading man fstab and noted these lines: The second field, (fs_file), describes the mount point for the filesystem. For swap partitions, this field should be specified as `none'. The line for swap in my own fstab reads: /dev/hda1 swap swap pri=42 0 0 So it looks like the second field should be changed to `none'. Is this correct? Jake SUSE 8.2 pro

Or maybe 'myswaparea' or 'mother' or 'foobar' or anything you care. I suspect whatever is in that field is not looked at by the system.
