Yesterday I thought my swap partition was a little to small(Sometimes all swap-space was used), so I decided to make it larger. First off, I removed the old one, and then created a new linux swap-partition('82'). According to cfdisk and fdisk the swap partition is /dev/hda11. When I try to 'swapon /dev/hda11' or 'swapon -a'(/etc/fstab points on /dev/hda11) it sais 'swapon: /dev/hda11: Invalid argument'. What does that mean? What should I do?

Fysical ram: 128mb
The old swap: 128mb
The new swap: 400mb
Running slackware 8.0, kernel 2.4.13.

Btw, is 2.4.15 just around the corner or should I go for 2.4.14? There's alot of vm changes..

In Slack, you could just create the space and then type setup and perform the swap partition option and have it do the swapon and format for you. Exit & reboot...

I found the problem.. I forgot make swap..
