Swap partitions are listed in /etc/fstab. As far as mkswap not
understanding them, this can be fixed by simply adding a UUID and
Label field to the swap header. There's plenty of space there.
This would involve modifying the following programs:
* mkswap
* swapon
* The blkid library
It wouldn't be hard; I'll see if I can get Andreas Brouwer, the
maintainer of the util-linux upstream package, to accept it.
