is it just me?
Authored by: JayBee on Jun 03, '02 12:05:19PM

This is going to sound daft, but what is the point of Fix #1? It requires a reboot and... well, on my system, a straight reboot will do exactly the same thing. Swap gets mounted back at /Volumes/Swap.

Mounts on to folders seem to work quite sensibly. I used to have my home folder on a separate partition, but my actual /Users/username folder was a link to my /Volumes/Users/username directory. If the fstab mounted the Users partition at /Users, all well and good. If not, the functionality was still there, as the mount just mounted ON TOP OF the directory - it didn\'t clobber it.

The same thing happens on my Swap partition. Or maybe I\'ve installed something I\'ve just forgotten about...

Yes, in some of the recommended implementations of "Adding a Swap Partition," another straight reboot (via Apple Menu) automagically fixes the "Swap 1" problem. I had the same behaviour before myself.

Before what? You ask!

Before I got a new drive and created *3* partitions instead of just 2.

I *think* this is the reason it works for you, and not me (not me now). That's my theory anyway.
