Mageia forum

Hi all. I had swap partition for Mageia installation on another physical drive than root and home, and got because it increased system load time. The system in start up too long searches swap in this lactation, so I decide to relocate it on to same drive where are other Mageia partitions. I delete old swap and create new. But this new one does not mount in system start up.
In /etc/fstab all ok.

Code: Select all

# Entry for /dev/sdb5 :
UUID=a458cefc-dfdb-4dcd-8460-9b38801c5ae6 swap swap defaults 0 0


sdb5 it is truly new swap partition

Please do a

Code: Select all

mount -a && swapon -s

as root and post the output here.

Code: Select all

mount -a

It has no explicit output

Code: Select all

# swapon -s
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority


. This is immediately after boot.
If I mount swap manually "swapon /dev/sdb5"so:

Code: Select all

# swapon -s
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/sdb5                               partition       1951860 177704  -1


Problem is in this, that very annoying to mount swap partition every time, after turn on the machine, manually

/dev/sdb5 is also correctly indicated as swap. But here it has another uuid that of /etc/fstab/ file.

Exactly what i was aiming for. Either reference it via it's device name (/dev/sdb5) in fstab or update the fstab with the current UUID or fix the UUID of the swap partition to match what you have in fstab. You pick a solution
