Hi, The swap partition did not mount post-installation (Debian "Squeeze" (Xfce)). Created a 2nd swap partition, & planned to delete the earlier swap partition. The 2nd swap partition doesn't mount either.
(Been using Debian (my 1st intro to Linux) for < 3 weeks. If a) I'm missing any blindingly obvious solution(s) b) this post should have been posted under a different topic/forum then please let me know.) Further info: Followed the instructions at http://web.mit.edu/rhel-doc/5/RHEL-5-ma ... dding.html<http://web.mit.edu/rhel-doc/5/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-swap-adding.html> Name of logical volume: HU /etc/fstab: (commented out the earlier swap partition) --------------------- # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed.
