<span class="q"></span>Thanks everyone. Got it working. It was weird, though.<br><br>The first time I ran mkswap I just provided the device, /dev/hda2 and it didn't run very long but it seemed to work with swapon -a ... until I rebooted and I was back to no swap.
<br><br>Somewhere along the way with my struggle I ended up using the full-blown command "mkswap -c -L SWAP-hda2 -v1 /dev/hda2" and it took so long I started to think the system had gone south on me. Once done, I went ahead and reverted my /etc/fstab back to the line I had commented out and it has held up through several reboots since.
<br><span class="sg"></span></blockquote></div><br>Sigh...<br><br>Spoke too soon. It reported no swap again when I just tried to shut down.<br><br>What could be causing my swap partition to keep getting trashed? Is there some encryption function being used in Fedora Core 6 on swap space that isn't being initialized properly when I mkswap and turn it on while the system is running with swapon -a?
<br><br>Any ideas?<br><br>Craig.<br>
