Hi!

I have two disk drives, and each of them has a swap partition. I would 
like to swap to both of them, but firstly to the "other" disk, which is 
not used during the running of the system, thus making the swapping 
less painful (the drives are on separate ide channels/cables).

The swap partition which is on the disk which has the root partition 
gets always priority 0, so I thought that I should add this to my 
fstab:

/dev/wd1b none swap sw,priority=0 0 0
/dev/wd0b none swap sw,priority=1 0 0

But after reboot, both of the swap partitions gets priority 0.
I can change the wd0b's priority to 1 after the boot, but is this the 
proper way of doing this, and one can not define the main swap 
partition's priority in fstab?

Thanks!

Daniel
