e2fsprogs-1.35-12.2.EL4 When the swap devices in /etc/fstab are defined with labels, rather than device nodes (eg. LABEL=SWAP-sda3 instead of /dev/sda3), then fsck will look up the device even though it can't fsck swap devices. For example, "fsck -N /boot" will look through all the devices looking for SWAP-sda3. Patch attached.
