Let me restate: what did you expect to achieve with that? nothing I have an unused partition, what I use sometimes as fs, sometimes as swap. that partition is /dev/hdc2 this time I really ran out of memory (0kfree swap), so I wanted swapon as soon as possible, and accidentally I typed /dev/hdb2 instead of /dev/hdc2.
