Fix your mkswap, or re-run it, it has support for this for long: /lib/udev/vol_id /dev/sda10 ID_FS_USAGE=other ID_FS_TYPE=swap ID_FS_VERSION=2 ID_FS_UUID=275f3dae-70e7-4c0b-b81a-b5b658b7f3e6 ID_FS_UUID_ENC=275f3dae-70e7-4c0b-b81a-b5b658b7f3e6 ID_FS_LABEL=swap ID_FS_LABEL_ENC=swap Thanks, Kay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
