Are you using a Sata hard drive?

It almost seems as if there is something wrong with udev.

could ya post your /etc/fstab? and are you using and custom udev rules?

why do you have your swap on a removable disk then?
it's showing up on your sda9?

robinp · 03-15-2006, 07:23 PM

As a newbie, I am not sure where swap should be as the server being configured by an external service provider. where should it be?
Any solutions, please.

Here's my /etc/fstab

I normally have my Swap on my main hd,having it on a removable source kinda defeats the purpse

Code:

# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0
tmpfs                  /tmp          tmpfs     defaults            0      0
usbfs                  /proc/bus/usb usbfs  defaults            0      0

/dev/hdc    /mnt/cdrom   udf,iso9660   user,defaults,noauto  	 0   0
/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda4 / reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 /home reiserfs defaults 0 0 
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat user,defaults,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 reiserfs user,defaults,rw 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod vfat user,defaults,noauto,rw  0 0

You'll notice my swap is set to /dev/hda2. it's on my main drive.

It just seems that udev is having issues unmounting the swap from the removable source. Did you install the distro, or did someone do it for you?

someone istalled the dostro for me.
