error enabling swap space device hda3. No such fileordirectory.

[Evan Panagiotopoulos]

Command free produced (I show only swap information):
Swap:      1020116          0    1020116
for total, used, and free.

The command will be: 
1 - swapoff -a

2 - mkswap ?????

3 - swapon -a

In my fstab the sawp is shown as:
/dev/hda3     swap     swap    defaults        0 0
