Talk:TIP automount swap

From Gentoo Linux Wiki

Just as a hint: It will only find partitions marked as Swap-Partitions by fdisk - Partition Type (hex): 82

[edit] Updated

• changed the grep-pipe-cut to a single awk command (also note that the original cut would fail if the swap is on /dev/hda10, cut -d" " -f1 would have been better in the first place, and awk is better :))
• the script can now detect several swap partitions (LVM anyone?) and reports a smaller message if none is found (my swap is mostly untouched, so there is nothing all that bad in not having any swap partitions, it should only be simply reported, IMHO)

[edit] Update: LVM2 support

added by making use of

file -sL $DEVICE

instead of

fdisk -l
