P. S. Any way to label swap? It's not reiserfs or ext*.
It is swap :)
swappoff -a
mkswap -L label device
swapon -a
I found that later while reading some other man page. I got to look into
that swapon -a option tho. Never seen that before. I think I know what
it is tho.
It enabled the swap. The boot init scripts automatically do a swapon
-a when you boot. But since you need to do a swappoff -a first and
disable the swap in order to recreate it, you need to enable it again
manually with swapon -a if you don't reboot.
It's been a while since I read the man page for swapon/off. I don't
remember seeing it before but that does save me from typing in a longer
command. I sometimes want to clear out swap, after compiling OOo or
something, and that is a bit easier to do.
Neat tip. Thanks.
