Re: What's the command to create swap in hurd

["Alfred M. Szmidt" <ams@kemisten.nu>]

   No, he means that, if you want to have Linux use a swap-partition
   after The Hurd has used it, then *Linux* will require you to run
   `mkswap'

I was under the impression that mkswap was ported to GNU/Hurd.

   (sorry, Alfred--you got the name wrong; does this mean that The
   Hurd is running well enough for you that you don't neet to touch
   Linux anymore? :))

I'm almost there!

   If there happens to be a Linux swap-signature (or anything else ;))
   ok the partition, it's likely to be gone by the time that The Hurd
   is done with the partition.

This is not entierly true, swapon can care about the signature if you
tell it to (the -s switch)

Would you like to help us stop the confusing that Linux is an
operating system by calling it GNU/Linux?
