Even though the swap partition exists, and set to load in fstab
, it's still not being mounted.
fdisk
returns this for the swap partition:
file system: /dev/sda5
start: 1
end: 244
blocks: 1951744
id: 82
system: Linux swap / Solaris
and in my fstab
it says
file system: /dev/sda5
mount point: none
type: swap
options: sw
dump: 0
pass: 0
and I can load it fine with swapon /dev/sda5
but it just won't load at boot.
Is there more information that I can give to help troubleshoot? I dont know what other info could be useful
As requested, full fstab
file:
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda6 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sr1 none udf rw,noauto 0 0
I was looking at the system log and I saw this, not sure what it means or if it's normal but:

not sure, still not loading swap... still can be added in commandline, and my windows partition is being mounted on boot, and that is in the fstab too.
