label for swap

[Julien]

Hi,

The command for making swap is not complete. It should be : mkswap /dev/<xxx> -L <yyy>

Replace <xxx> with the number of hda, <yyy> with the name of the swap partition.

As hda5 is for LFS partition, we could use 'hda6' to name the swap partition.

Why?

-L label

Specify a label, to allow swapon by label.

We don't use labels for partitions in fstab and I don't see an advantage for doing so in LFS.

You're right. I don't know how to close that ticket but if someone knows, he can do it or tell me how to do it.
