Hello:
I am having a strange problem after installing FC3 on two machines. On both machines the swap partition did not come up automatically when i booted the machine.
when i do "free" it gives me the following output.
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2058472 329424 1729048 0 99224 108404 -/+ buffers/cache: 121796 1936676 Swap: 0 0 0
my /etc/fstab shows the following
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=SWAP-hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
i even tried to change the label from SWAP-hda6 to /dev/hda6 but still the same result.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Yes it is working
in /etc/fstab i changed the line to
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
and restarted the server.
Thanks for the quick reply.

It'd be neat to know why this is not happening as it should. Have we identified this yet? I've found this to happen on a few boxen that I've tinkered with, not being able to directly identify what was causing it.
Thanks -dant

I will advise that if you do not edit your initrd when using Software Suspend 2, your swap will not be placed on-line if you suspend your system. As far as the label being incorrect in fstab, that could be because the partition had a label and was removed.

How did you create the swap partitions? Manually, or using the Fedora installer?
Are they formatted?
