Help Me Use My Swap
by zaivala from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4PX8R)
My system has multiple partitions, with a swap partition and 4 other partitions. The 4 other partitions each have a distro of Linux on them, and some of them change from time to time. The older two distros have lost the location of the swap partition == they display the name of a partition but says it isn't there. I think they have the name right, but don't know enough to be certain.
W: initramfs-tools configuration sets RESUME=UUID=1b0b9f28-4745-40e7-9bad-5cc3ff41e862
W: but no matching swap device is available.
So. I have a swap partition. I need my distros to use the swap partition. What is the easiest way of telling them each where it is (and, if necessary, how to access it)?
The system is a Lenovo ThinkPad T430 with a 500 Gb hard drive and 8 Gb RAM (formerly 4 Gb), all Intel chips.
