Thanks for that, I have actually been doing a bit of reading since my last post and discovered the utility 'mkswap' in the package 'util-linux' I ran this on my swap partitions (yes I use partitions instead of files, 'dphys-swapfile' couldn't help and left a # message to that effect in /etc/fstab I found it rather nifty that mkswap will produce a UUID number for the swap (device) it just made. Nice to be able to paste this directly into /etc/fstab that was good thinking. I also found out I can use the swap partition on my 32bit version of Debian on another disk. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
