could the problem be that there are two UUIDs for swap...one refers to the partition and the other refers to the swap-filesystem...
when i do mkswap it returns a new UUID for swap and no label...but when i do 'ls -la /dev/disks/by-uuid afterwards the UUID which refers to /dev/hda4 has not changed... since i changed my /etc/fstab to contain the UUID which refers to /dev/hda4 i could do a 'swapon -a' after having done mkswap...if the UUID in fstab had referred to the UUID of the swap-filesystem it would have failed... -- swap not being mounted on boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/66637 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
