Hi,

I just found that my fc3 system's swap partition is "gone".  When I
installed the system, I set it to 1Gb.  The kernel is 2.6.10-1.766_FC3.
I
don't know when it started, but here are some information:

# free
            total       used       free     shared    buffers
cached
Mem:       1035748     658792     376956          0     145380
272540
-/+ buffers/cache:     240872     794876
Swap:            0          0          0

[snip]

I tried this:

# swapon -a
swapon: cannot find the device for LABEL=SWAP-hda7

Your swap partition probabliy doesn't have a label anymore, or it doesn't exist anymore.


The system log does not show anything related to this problem.  Can
somebody tell me what may cause this problem?  how to check it further
and
fix it?


What is the output from fdisk -l (run by root)?


Thanks a lot!

The output is:

# fdisk -l

What should I do?  Thanks!


In this case do what Paul Howarth wrote earlier. This will help you.
