What happened to my swap ? !!

[Appeet]

I originally installed my installation with swap on hdb4 (linux on hda2)

However when I "physically" mounted my second harddrive I had to install it as a secondary slave. Because of this reason the definition for my swap is now hdd4. When I do a "top" I see that swap available is "0" (I originally had 1 gb on hdb4) so i guess my question now is how do I make linux use hdd4 as swap.

Thanks in advance.

Simply edit /etc/fstab as root and change hdb4 (4th primary partition on
primary slave drive) to be hdd4 (4th primary partition on secondary
slave drive).

Look at /etc/fstab where you'll see something like this:

/dev/sda5       swap            swap    defaults        0 0

You will have to be root to edit it, just change the device name as is
appropriate for your new disk name.

Thats set in /etc/fstab, use your fav editor to fix the line 
containing /dev/hdb4 by changing it to /dev/hdd4.  Then rather that 
rebooting, just do a "swapon -a" (without the dblquotes of course, 
see the "man swapon" page) which should properly enable it.

Now, one more thing, please fix your quoting in your email agent, it 
is not prefixing each line with an additional > character to indicate 
the quoting levels, so it looks as if I sent your reply.  That gets 
confuzing to the other readers of your messages.

Thanks.
