The symptom was that on reboots the swap file wasn't used when it was on a file system other than the root file system. When the file was on the root file system it worked, and when I did swapon manually after the reboot it worked. I even tried putting the swapon command in rc.local and I couldn't get it to work there. I haven't tried it recently since I did a repartition since I need that and I have plenty of swap space in the swap partition. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
