Hi,
On my new 10.3 install I set up 2 drives in raid1 mirror, using software raid in yast. All seems to be working fine except in Kinfocenter>memory swap is shown as not available. Yast shows swap with an "*" beside it. My partitions are set up as follows: primary /dev/md0 /boot extended /dev/md1 /swap /dev/md2 / /dev/md3 /home /dev/md4 /share
I'm not that familiar with tweaking swap and have only set it up in yast>partitioner before with no previous problems. This is my first raid setup so there may be an issue with that, but again, all others partitions are working fine. I tried editing swap in yast to format it again as /swap but it failed with an error code -3004.
Anyone know what this problem may be?
Many thanks,

Try running swapon -s and see if the device is listed. Also, cat /proc/mdstat. Your swap device should show up in the swapon -s command. It should show up in mdstat but may be listed as (auto-read-only). I had a similar issue on one of my hosts and ended up having to change the boot flags. I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst and changed the item resume=/dev/md1 to noresume. This disables the ability to hibernate the machine, but allowed my swap to work properly.
Hope this helps.

swapon -s shows one line like this.... Filename Type Size Use Priority
with nothing else listed below.
cat /proc/mdstat does show md1 as active (auto-read-only)
Do you mean replace "resume=/dev/md1" with "noresume"?
Also, while at this point I don't envision hibernating this machine, you never know. Is there a different fix without disabling hibernate? Will subsequent grub installs pick up this noresume flag?
Many thanks,
Jim F What does the swap partition look like in /etc/fstab?
You can type 'cat /etc/fstab | grep swap' and paste the results here. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
