I'm having trouble with my swap file. I have my swap set up in a mirrored raid on md1. It is showing in sysinfo as swap not available. So i'm trying to delete md1, and repartition those 2 partitions as separate swap partitions, using yast partitioner. Problem is that I get an error saying... ----------------- Failure occurred during the following action Deleting software RAID /dev/md1
System error code was -6006
mdadm --stop /dev/md1: mdadm: fail to stop array /dev/md1:device or resource busy -----------------
I do have three other Linux RAID partitions on this machine, md0, md2 and md3, and these are functioning properly.
I don't remember having this problem before, and I know swap was working at some point, but it isn't now.
Any pointers?
Maybe that is, because mirrored swap partitions cannot be used for suspend to disk. You can disable this by replacing resume=/dev/md1 by noresume in your bootloader configuration.

Thanks Herbert, this fixed my problem. I had used "noresume" in the grub boot options, but for some reason that stopped working. By making that permanant in my grub file I can now access and manage my swap on /dev/md1. I have it on raid1. Many thanks for the tip.
