>man swapon
Well, I said in my post "I set my /etc/fstab as such to set both my swap partitions to have equal priority when 'swapon -a' runs at boot >>>(per the swapon man page)<<<, and thus have the system swap equally to both partitions. " So yes, I've read it very thoroughly. I'm asking because what the man page says to do isn't doing what it says it should or I'm reading it wrong. Maybe our swapon man pages are different, my swapon(8) and swapon(2) being from mount-2.5p. My swapon(8) man page says to set up fstab as such (other partitions ommited).
/dev/hda2 swap swap sw,pri=-1 /dev/hdc1 swap swap sw,pri=-1
And I still get this on boot.
Adding Swap: 66020k swap-space (priority -1) Adding Swap: 65988k swap-space (priority -2)
I'm asking if something changed in 2.1.x from 2.0.x that might not be in the swapon man pages.
Thanks, Roy
Perhaps your swapon is too old or was compiled before the priority option was available. Make sure "#define SWAPON_HAS_TWO_ARGS" is in swapargs.h from the util-linux-2.6 mount directory.
