Hi.

I just noticed that I'm a little short on swap space, so I decided to
add another partition on sdb. I added the partition, and now the
partition table looks like:


Disk /dev/sdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 255 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
 
   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1             1        12     96358+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb2            13        24     96390   83  Linux
/dev/sdb3            25        36     96390   83  Linux
/dev/sdb4            37        51    120487+   5  Extended
/dev/sdb5            37        51    120456   82  Linux swap
                                                                                       
                         

Now, I try to run   mkswap /dev/sdb5    

Here's what I get:

# mkswap /dev/sdb5
/dev/sdb5: Device not configured   

Any ideas ???

TIA/
