I have two Linux SSD system drives, both of which have a swap partition.
The installer selects all visible swap partitions for automatic mounting via fstab.
I did not realize until just recently that it's possible to select any partition in gparted and mark it to not be used.
Therefore, both swap partitions were set for mounting in fstab.
I do not want the swap on the second drive mounted for use.
Will removing that second swap from fstab create any problems, since it was configured that way during the install?
[SOLVED] Remove extra swap partition from fstab ?

Re: Remove extra swap partition from fstab ?
No, that'll be fine. Only thing of course if that you then have less swap space.

Thanks, rene.
There is more than enough allocated already.
