Description Jirka Daněk 2011-04-23 11:38:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

In my /var/log/boot.log I see the following line

Enabling swap partition /dev/sda6 [60G[[0;32m  OK  [0;39m]

At first look it scared the hell out of me, I was wondering what partition it started to use as swap... worrying about my data, but it turned out hda6 really is swap, but only 6 GB big. So I recon there is a missing decimal separator in the notice.

Additional info:

I have Fedora 15 Beta on an USB stick (filesystem ext2). It is up to date.

[root@localhost liveuser]# swapon -s
Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority
/dev/sda6                               partition	5858300	0	-1

That's an ANSI escape code to move to column 60. It has nothing to do with the swap size.
