One of these days I hope to release util-linux-2.9. A preliminary version can be found as ftp.win.tue.nl:/pub/linux/util/util-linux-pre2.9b.tar.gz
It contains an updated mkswap (untested - please complain if I did something wrong) and a rewritten mkswap.8.
Thanks to Andreas Neuper the fdisk included now also understands SGI disk labels.
Comments are welcome (also about things not compiling under very new or very old libraries).
[I was somewhat disappointed by the new swapspace code in 2.1.117. On the one hand it is incompatible with the old code, so that one cannot easily use the same partition as (large) swap space under 2.1 and (smaller) under 2.0. On the other hand the improvement is not very large. Now a swap partition can be up to 2 GB. (Used to be 1/8 GB on i386, 1/2 GB on alpha.)]
