I got a swap problem.
When I originally installed Kubu 8.04, I intended to create 8 partitions, and do 'em up like this:
sda1, sdb1, sdc1, and sdd1 were each 512mb, and I Raid-0'd them all into a 2GB partition, /md0. Was gonna use this for a striped Swap space.
sda2 and sdb2 were raid-1'd into /md1.
sdc2 and sdd2 were raid-1'd into /md2.
/md1 and /md2 were raid-0'd into /md3....Raid-10! Awesome.
BUT THEN...my Linux shaman Jake told me that the kernel does a good enough job of splitting up the swap space without needing to Raid-0 those 4x 512MB partitions. So I un-MD'ed them...that was a battle.
So, I finally got rid of /md0, I mkswapped sda1 - sdd1, and was able to swap them on. free -m showed approx 2GB of swap...I was happy.
However, the swap space goes away after reboot. I know what you're thinking...What about your /etc/fstab? Well, here ya go:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/md3

/dev/sdc1 <mount\040point> swap noauto 0 0
/dev/sdd1 <mount\040point> swap noauto 0 0

The beginning part of the file shows how the WORKING stuff is set up, but the interesting part is at the end... do those entries for sda1 - sdd1 look right? They were automagically put in there. Can anyone help me out?
BTW, Jake the shaman is out of town.
**Edit: could those "noautos" in there cause my problem?
