Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: util-linux
I eventually did figure it out, but there was much aggravation. Here's
a transcript:
blar...@bulti:~$ sudo mkswap /dev/sda2
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 15695500 KiB
no label, UUID=1c712dc4-3744-4abf-a4ca-2348e68fa91f
blar...@bulti:~$ sudo vol_id -u /dev/sda2
unknown or non-unique volume type (--probe-all lists possibly conflicting types)
blar...@bulti:~$ sudo vi /etc/fstab
blar...@bulti:~$ sudo swapon -a
swapon: cannot stat /dev/disk/by-uuid/1c712dc4-3744-4abf-a4ca-2348e68fa91f: No
such file or directory
blar...@bulti:~$ sudo blkid | grep sda2
/dev/sda2: UUID="781848AB18486A68" TYPE="ntfs"
blar...@bulti:~$ sudo fdisk -l | grep sda2
/dev/sda2 487 2440 15695505 82 Linux swap / Solaris
much aggravation, and I figured out a way around things.
blar...@bulti:~$ sudo mkswap -v0 /dev/sda2
mkswap: warning: truncating swap area to 130752 KiB
