Yeah, I had considered that.
I owe Marc Singer a few bootloader experiments (I haven't forgotten,
just been a bit busy and not wanting to take it off line)
When that's complete I'll decide it's fate, i.e. do I want to sell it
or have I a role for another little server!

You might want to sell it to John Fieldsend, ;-)
John, still there?
But what I did on my slug was this:
Use the "-L" option of mkswap, like:
mkswap -L Swap /dev/whatever
Then mount it by label. My fstab had this:
LABEL=Swap none swap sw 0 0
Yes, that's what the wiki says!

I get nothing when i do a swapon -s
Then you don't have swap!
I know why I belive. I have two disks attached to my NSLU2. The main
disk in port 1 usually gets /dev/sda so the root partion would be
/dev/sda5 When I boot with just 1 disk attached i get the swap
partion like I should. When the second disk is attached it seems like
I dont get the swap partion. I think the main disk gets mounted
sometimes as /dev/sdb. I have the two main disk partions being
mounted by UUID but I dont seem to have a UUID that I can find for the
swap.
I think your right. So what's the UUID of a swap partition? Good
question. However, I think there was another thread (something to do
with RAID) which also had this kind of problem. You could search the
list for something like 'UUID'.
Maybe someone knows the correct solution by heart?

How can I tell if my system will use the swap space? Im running out

used as far as swap using the top command.
Just do `swapon -s`. That will tell you if you use a swap partition and
how much of it is used.
