"cannot access swap file " error
by jan128 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5E38M)
As always , for so far unknown reason, one of my multi boot OS bit the dust.
On initial boot start I get an error effectively saying the swap file is inaccessible.
At present I can safely use other OS on same HDD and they have no issues with swap file. There is only ONE swap file on the HDD.
Assuming that each OS has its own fstab file, how can I access the faulty OS fstab file to see why the swap file cannot be accessed?
I am including the healthy fstab file for your enjoyment.
As always, assistance and any other suggestion to resolve the issue will be greatly appreciated.
PS
I like to restore the OS, got too many packages installed there and I am too lazy to do the installs again.
Cheers
EDIT _ CORRECTION
the error reads "failed to activate swap file..."
