Hi Tink,
That didn't work. The contents of my frive space appears as follows
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 * 1 388 3116578+ 83 Linux
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 389 2434 16434495 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 389 438 401593+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 439 2434 16032838+ 83 Linux
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
which seems kind of weird to me, I haven't seen these kind of paths before?!?
So when I tried adding the following line to my fstab:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I still get the error 'Invalid argument' when booting.
NB. I get just the same error, if after booting I do the following command:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[root@localhost mark]# swapon -a
swapon: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5: Invalid argument
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any idea what's going on here? - it's got me stumped.
Cheers,
Mark
