Title:
  finding a lost swap partition?

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  There should be some kind of sanity check when fstab specifies the
  wrong swap partition. I'm running Ubuntu on a number of machines, and
  I just finished going through what seemed like several hours of
  battling that started when the UUID of the swap partition was changed.
  I had a pretty large advantage of realizing fairly quickly that the
  problem was the swap partition, but it was still a pretty major pain
  to figure out what was supposed to be in the /etc/fstab file before I
  was able to fix it. It would seem like this should be a fairly minor
  thing to fix--if I actually understood what was going on.

  Probably the general solution would be a recovery routine if fstab has
  any problems. In this particular case, I just needed to find the
  proper name for the only swap partition and put it in there...
