You don't need to format the partition; just set its type to swap in fdisk. You can have more than one swap partition defined in /etc/fstab, and you cal leave the defaults alone. The 0's are the fsck priority and dump flags; man fstab for more info. You can also just create a swapfile on an existing partition and enable it with swapon if you're looking for a less drastic solution. -- "The only thing that helps me maintain my slender grip on reality is the friendship I share with my collection of singing potatoes." - Holly, JMC Vessel *Red Dwarf* _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
