mount by label for swap
Last modified: 2006-01-18 14:38:21 UTC
mounting volumes by label is very usefull in environments, where the partitions can change from time to time. Swap is also mountable by volume name but yast does not offer this in fstab options.
What do you mean exactly? Of course, swap space cannot me mounted. And a swap-partition cannot be labeled, because the superblock of a swap-partition does not support a label. Closing this as invalid. Before reporting a bug next time, please ensure the vailidity of your report. If you ment something completly different: Express yourself in a (more verbose and exact) way so misunderstandings can be avoided. Another useful link: http://bugs.opensuse.org
you might want to call "man mkswap" to see how to enable swap volume labels, sorry I might have pointed to the mkswap man page earier, I thought this would be obvious to do if you don't know about the feature. And of course you don't mount swap, you enable it :-) Here you see an example fstab entry: LABEL=myswap swap swap pri=42 0 0
It is up to the Project managers to decide about addition of new features.
This is ok to add - but I expect this will be done for 10.2.
Will consider it for 10.2
Thorsten Kukuk wants this for SLES so I will implement this feature for beta#2.
Will be available in beta#2
