Known Problems
13.Inconsistencies with man page directions for editing /etc/fstab.
If you manually edit the /etc/fstab file to alter the device partition to be mounted as swap space, follow the fstab man page directions. The swapon manpages incorrectly describe swap filesystem entries in /etc/fstab as being labeled with"sw" when they should be labeled "swap". swapon will not throw an error if it encounters an invalid swap entry in /etc/fstab.
