Just to add to the confusion I'll state that I don't even mention priorities in fstab, but the system recognizes two swap partitions and automagically assigns priorities.
Partition check: hda: hda1 < hda5 hda6 > hda2 hda3 hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3 hdb4 < hdb5 hdb6 hdb7 hdb8 > VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 36k freed INIT: version 2.71 booting Activating swap partitions Adding Swap: 72256k swap-space (priority -1) Adding Swap: 58428k swap-space (priority -2) where my fstab says: none /proc proc defaults /dev/hdb7 none swap sw /dev/hda6 none swap sw
