In your case its been labeled as SWAP-i2o/hda3 and presumably is physically on partition /dev/hda3. You need to do: /sbin/mkswap -c -v1 -L SWAP-i2o/hdb3 /dev/i2o/hdb3 to label your new swap partition, then you need to edit /etc/fstab to include a line like: LABEL=SWAP-i2o/hdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0 then 'swapon -a' should grab them both.
