Yes, I have run
mkswap -v /dev/hda1

run it without the -v   Without any options it will default to the new
type (From Man Page)

Well, the LFS book says, it must be with "-v".

Nope, in this case the book is wrong. It was assumed the "-v" was a "verbose" option (as it is for most other commands) but for mkswap it actually sets the type of swap partition. Just run the command without "-v".

OK, I see. Thanks!
