Swap no longer recognised... [SOLVED]

[Hepburn]

Hi,

I've been adding/resizing partitions, and now I'm having some swap issues (I shrinked my 1st partition, and shifted the space along to form a 4th within an extended partition).

First, the swap wasn't recognised as swap in gparted, but that was fixed easily. But now it won't automount, so I have to do it manually in gparted each time I boot up. The only problem it appears to have caused is that my laptop won't hibernate anymore - not exactly serious, but still slightly annoying!


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

The swap should come up as /dev/sda3. Any ideas?

Try changing your entry for the swap partition to this

Code: Select all

# Entry for /dev/sda3
#UUID=952f452f-184c-41ba-ae7b-5fd3cacacffd 
/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0

If that is successful I'd suggest removing the UUIDs completely from your fstab which is explained in more detail in this wiki article

Thanks! Swap now mounting a treat Having a look at the link you posted now.

Hibernation's still a bit weird (it'll hibernate, but then does a fresh boot when switched on again, rather than returning to how it was) so I'm guessing something else is causing that problem.
