Hello....I am wondering about my swap partition. It doesn't seem like its being used. My HD is a 40G. I partitioned it first with a 1G partition, type 'swap'. Then made a 2nd partition, the remainder of space left, type 'linux' set bootable....saved & exited CFDISK....then went about with rest of installation. Everything is mostly running perfect. I ran QPARTED just to take a look at the partitions. I noticed my 1G partition for swap was still NTFS! The drive was formerly a WINXP drive. When I started out i deleted the NTFS partition so I think! But anyway, I used the utility in qparted to turn it into a ext3 or linus stsyem and the little penguin showed up to the left of partition data just like below on the line for my other partiton that i set for linus thats bootable. I ranINFO CENTER and noticed under swap space it said "not available". It shows both partitions as ext3...../dev/hdb1 is: swap size is 949.12MB status is ? theres nothing in the space for 'status' ... used space is 63.50 start is 0.03 MB and end is 949.15MB ..../dev/hdb2 is: ext3....status is active.....size is 36.34GB used space is 3.96GB...start is 949.15MB end is 37.27GB......this seems to not be right somehow......should the 'status' of the swap partition be ACTIVE? I would guess so....how do i fix this so Linux uses the correct swap partition???? Thanks...bob
