The following code is used in the SUSE bootscripts to do exactly this: ---------------------------------------------------- get_swap_id() { local line; fdisk -l | while read line; do case "$line" in /*Linux\ [sS]wap*) echo "${line%% *}" esac done } check_swap_sig () { local part="$(get_swap_id)" local where what type rest p c while read where what type rest ; do test "$type" = "swap" || continue c=continue for p in $part ; do test "$p" = "$where" && c=true done $c case "$(dd if=$where bs=1 count=6 skip=4086 2>/dev/null)" in S1SUSP|S2SUSP) mkswap $where esac done < /etc/fstab } --------------------------------------------------------------------- This invalidates the suspend signature if the kernel has not already done it. It probably does not cover the softwaresuspend2 signature but that should be trivial to add.
