Swap not mounted in Edgy
So I upgraded to Edgy. Nice so far. A few problems with Beryl and now this:
The symptoms I experienced:
- Unbearable slowness with multiple applications open.
- Noticed the swap in the system monitor said 0% of 0 bytes.
This is when I realized the swap space wasn't mounted.
After viewing the forums I found a bug report. There were directions which fixed the problem and they worked:
1. Run the mkswap command on your current swap partition. So if your swap partition is /dev/sda3 you would run:
mkswap /dev/sda3
2. Now you need to record the UUID produced by mkswap. Keep this handy.
3. Next you need to update the /etc/fstab file. Find the line referring to the swap partition. Change the UUID on that line to the UUID produced by mkswap.
4. Next you need to edit the /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume file. This file should read:
RESUME=UUID=
Note: Replace with the actual UUID reported by mkswap.
5. Lastly, you need to regenerate the initramfs. To do this run:
update-initramfs -u
Now you should be able to reboot and have your swap space enabled and be able to hibernate.
