(using this thread now, one thread by topic ...)

My system seems to be one of those that periodically has the drive 
assignments changed so I am switching over to using LABEL=...

I've been trying to find what the UUID of my swap file is but can't find it, 
been searching with Google for instructions but nothing works to get it. 
It's not listed under /dev/disk/by-uid either. I'm using ext3 file system 
but I believe swap is entirely different anyways.

Should I somehow redo the swap partition specifying for it to create a UUID 
somehow or?

Thanks
