Just to summarize a bit, so maybe someone gets an idea what is happening.
We currently have a raid device, /dev/md1, that is partitioned as swap space. However the problem is that we cannot get it online to be used as swap..the following is /etc/fstab [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/md2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 0 /dev/md0 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol06 /mirror ext3 defaults 0 0 /dev/md1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/md1 was commented out and i removed the comment however after doing a sudo mount -a, it didnt come up the current mounted partitions are: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount /dev/md2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) /sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755) varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/md0 on /boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol06 on /mirror type ext3 (rw) right after a mount -a. i did in hopes of changing something i did a swapon -a the result was: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo swapon -a swapon: /dev/md1: Invalid argument Now this is a plea for help for anyone who might have any ideas...we sorely need to fix this prob as as soon as someone visits the site, the amount of ram gets dangerously low. An idea would be to restart the server and see if the partition is mounted properly at boot time, however we might risk bricking the server and thus we would need to revisit the NOC to fix the problem...Not something many of us feel like doing or have the time to right now SO..Any ideas??
