yes, when the swapon command was issued. We also added '/dev/dasdb1 /mnt/dasdb1 ext2 defaults 1 1' before '/mnt/dasdb1/swap/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 2' in /etc/fstab.

Is /dev/dasdb1 actually mounted on /mnt/dasdb1 when the swapon command is issued during startup? The order of events is important here.

We're on Suse Linux 7.0 and we just created a swapfile on a separate disk as '/mnt/dasdb1/swap/swapfile' and activate it ok with 'swapon /mnt/dasdb1/swap/swapfile'. 'swapoff -s' shows that the swap file is active so we add an entry to '/etc/fstab' as '/mnt/dasdb1/swap/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 2' to make it permanent. After the ipl, we checked but the swap file did not come active so we issued the swapon command manually, and it came active. The procedure to add swap files is documented in the 'SuSE Linux 7.0 installation, Networking, Know how' manual (page 38-39). Does anyone know why the swap file doesn't come active after ipl?
