cannot mount swap

Murdock1979 · 12-26-2005, 12:06 PM

Hello All!

Whenever I mount swapon -a I get the following an "invalid argument" message.

My fstab looks like this:

/dev/hdb4 none swap sw 0 0

the dmesg says it cannot find the swap-space signature

I set up the partitions correctly, so what could be the prob.?

Thanks!
