Is there any kind of counterpart to the volume label option for activating swap partitions via /etc/fstab? Alternatively, is there a way to have all extant disk partitions that activate all partitions with partition type codes that identify them as swap partitions?
How about... using labels? :-))
LABEL=160_swap swap swap pri=42 0 0
You just have to give a label to the swap partition. See "man mkswap".
Hi Carlos,
This worked for me once with 10.3 "after" installation, but when I try to do it as part of a fresh install, it fails. First boot fails to find the label and issues a warning, plus "top" shows 0-bytes of swap.
I don't know about that, it may be a bug in yast. I'm certainly using this method after installation. In my factory install I have it this way instead: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3320620A_5QF2M56F-part5 swap swap pri=42 and I see that I have commented out this other way: #/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST340810A_3FB0E72J-part5 swap swap defaults 0 0 and it makes sense, the "0 0" is absurd for swap. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
