From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040929 Description of problem: mkswap now supports -L to set a label on the swap device, and anaconda actually makes use of that, creating entries in /etc/fstab that reference SWAP-$partition for a swap device in /dev/$partition. Unfortunately, if you happen to re-create the swap device for whatever reason, swapon -a will no longer work because you don't have the label, and neither mkswap -h nor man mkswpa will hint you to the option to create the swap device correctly. The new (?) -L option ought to be mentioned in the -h output, as well as in the man-page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): util-linux-2.12a-10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mkswap -h 2.man mkswap Actual Results: No reference to -L label. Expected Results: Should be there. Additional info: One could always edit /etc/fstab after re-creating the swap partitions, and live on without -L, but that sort of defeats the point.
Patch is in CVS.
