[rhn-users] Swap problem

[Quince, Devin]

Oops, I guess I misspoke. I believe I did make a swap file, not a
partition, but how would one tell for sure? My swap on this box keeps
showing up a LABEL=SWAP-sda7 in fstab and fdisk reports it as /dev/sda7

Not sure if this is helpful - but have you tried making a swap file
instead of a swap partition?
