I'm trying to set up swap on a regular file.
I created the file using dd, initialised it with mkswap, and tried to mount it with swapon.
On the 3.8 knoppix, swapon reports simply "invalid argument" and fails.
On the 3.7 knoppix, swapon says the swapfile doesn't have a signature. I checked with od, and sure enough, there is no signature.
Any advice?
