Description Joe Harrington 2005-03-09 21:12:33 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3)
Gecko/20041020 Galeon/1.3.19

Description of problem:
In FC3, swap spaces are labelled SWAP-hda7 (for example).  To label a
swap space, you say mkswap -L SWAP-hda7 /dev/hda7.  This is not
documented in the mkswap man page, and should be.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-2.12a-16

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mkswap -L SWAP-hda7 /dev/hda7
2.man mkswap
   

Actual Results:  the page doesn't mention -L or labeling a swap space
    

Expected Results:  It should mention this capability.

For FC-3 I will release this cosmetic fix only if there will some other bugfix.

There was some other bugfix and it looks like that there will be another
one (see bug #152956).  Can we have this documented then?  So far even
'mount -h' does not mention an existence of -L option.
