Create the partition that you want to use for swap, using fdisk. While in fdisk, change the partition type from 83 (linux) to 82 (linux swap).
Quit fdisk (using w to save the changes), then run "mkswap /dev/xxxx" where xxxx is the partition you created. Then, just issue "swapon" to start using that swap partition. Then, to ensure that the swap is activated on bootup, make sure you have a line like this: /dev/xxxx swap swap defaults 0 0 in your /etc/fstab, again, where xxxx is the partition in question. Good luck. On Fri, 5 Apr 2002, [gb2312] Yue Sheng wrote: > > Hi, all: > > For some reason, I lost my Linux Swap partition.
