I see that officially, e2label can not label a swap partition. So, I am
confused by what I see in my fstab:
LABEL=SWAP-i2o/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
I have an Adaptec 2010S ZCR card that likes to play with my mind, so I
have found that using labels on my partitions lets me win the game with
the ZCR card.
The above entry from the fstab is from a fresh install of FC3. If
e2label doesn't label swap partitions, how did the above entry occur?
And, how can I guarantee that my the swap I want used is the one that
will be used?
See 'man mkswap'
I think I am missing something, I don't see anything about the above
type of labels in the mkswap man page. I tried-changing
LABEL=SWAP-i2o/hda3 to LABEL=SWAP-i2o/hdb3, and the subsequent swapon failed
[root@sm init.d]# /sbin/mkswap -c -v1 /dev/i2o/hdb3
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1612148 kB
...
[root@sm init.d]# /sbin/swapon -av
swapon on LABEL=SWAP-i2o/hdb3
swapon: cannot find the device for LABEL=SWAP-i2o/hdb3
Did I miss something in the man page?
