Re: [opensuse] Swap partition "full"....

Ok.. tried that. I killed off almost everything. Shut down apache2,
mysql, mythtv, even logged out and went to init 3. Still swap is
"full", and I am having the performance issues. Oh well... a reboot
can't hurt... it's been a couple months.. :-P

I just hate rebooting... it always messed up my mount points... for
some reason I've never bothered to figure out, a couple of my drives
swap around on every reboot... /dev/sde1 and /dev/sdd1 swich around
and it screws everything up (apache etc) until a remount things where
they are supposed to be mounted.


then label the partitions, and mount those filesystems
by label instead of device name.

I used to be a mount-by-device name only kind of
guy.... when my system was exclusively SCSI, and I
could control their device name by setting their
SCSI ID numbers, regardless of where they were
physically connected.

But once I put a couple of IDE drives in...I
found them just too much of a pain in the neck
to keep track of what disk was plugged in where
on those occasions when I disconnected their
ribbon cables...

On my laptop, the partition labels are like this:

root_suse10_1
_usr
_opt
_home
_local
_tmp
_windows_c

Since the labels indicte the mount point,
confusion is nearly impossible.
