Hi all, After a random power outage, my FreeBSD 6.1 box failed to reboot because the swap partition is toast. The disklabel looks to be intact. I've been researching all afternoon trying to find out how to recover the swap with something like newfs, but I haven't found any examples of how to do it, only how to create the swap during a system installation. Can anyone tell me which tool to use and show me either an example or point me in the direction of more information? -Ron T. -- Ron Tarrant Blog:<A HREF="http://www.writingup.com/blog/phpgtk2">PHP-Gtk2</A>

Swap doesn't need to be formatted; it just has to exist if enabled. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
