When I installed SuSE 9.3, I created a swap partition /dev/sda7. When I installed Fedora Core 4, I created a swap partition /dev/sda12. Is it okay if I edit fstab in both SuSE and FC4 to load both these partitions as swap? (Currently IIRC SuSE uses only /dev/sda7 and FC4 uses only /dev/sda12.) The contents of a swap partition are emptied at shutdown, right? So when I startup another OS which can use the same partition for swap it will not cause any problems, right? If the contents of a swap partition are emptied at bootup instead, then even if the previous shutdown was faulty (power off without unmount or something like that) then the swap partition can still be accessed. Please advise. -- Shriramana Sharma http://samvit.org (o- Penguin #395953 //\ running on ancient Indian wisdom V_/_ and modern computing efficiency
