Hi.
Just installed Lunar and I'm up and running, except that I have no swap
partition mounted, even though I believe created one. Anyone prepared
to offer any
advice?
I have (according to dmesg):
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
scsi0 : Adaptec AIC79XX PCI-X SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 1.3.10
aic7901A: Ultra320 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, PCI-X 67-100Mhz,
512 SCBs
(scsi0:A:0): 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz DT|IU|QAS, 16bit)
Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST336607LW Rev: 0007
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03
scsi0:A:0:0: Tagged Queuing enabled. Depth 32
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 71687372 512-byte hdwr sectors (36704 MB)
Partition check:
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4 < p5 p6 p7 >
I partitioned pretty much exactly as the installation manual suggested,
cfdisk shows
cfdisk 2.12i
Disk Drive: /dev/sda
Size: 36703934464 bytes, 36.7 GB
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 4462
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label]
Size (MB)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sda1 Boot Primary Linux ReiserFS

sda2 Primary Linux ReiserFS

sda3 Primary Linux swap / Solaris

sda5 Logical Linux ReiserFS

sda6 Logical Linux ReiserFS
10001.95
sda7 Logical Linux ReiserFS

and my fstab got initialised as:
/dev/discs/disc0/part7 /home reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime
0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part6 /var reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime
0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part5 /usr reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime
0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 /boot reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime
0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 / reiserfs defaults,notail,noatime
0 0
but there's no mention of the swap (part3), and top shows:
Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 92460k cached
when I added the line
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 none swap rw 0 0
to /etc/fstab and ran 'swapon -a' it says:
swapon: /dev/discs/disc0/part3: Invalid argument
and after a reboot I'm getting console messages:
"Unable to find swap-space signature"
(actually that message appeared from nowhere on /dev/vc/2)
