2009-03-11mkswap: remove v0 swap space supportKarel Zak1-16/+8
The kernel has not supported v0 swap space format since 2.5.22. The new version v1 is supported since 2.1.117. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
2008-02-15mkswap: set UUID for swap space (add -U option)Martin Schulze1-1/+5
A friend of mine is looking into the possibility of cloning Debian (and other) systems automatically and stomped over swap partitions getting assigned new UUIDs every time the new harddisk is partitioned and swap is created. It's essential when partitions are to be recognised by their uuid and not by their old device path anymore.

2007-07-24mkswap: default to V1 in any caseMatthias Koenig1-0/+2
mkswap(8) enforces to use v0 swap format when pagesize > 16kB. (use case might be ppc64 with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES). As version 0 swap is not supported anymore by recent kernels, the behaviour in this case is rather strange. Here is a testcase: for i in 4 8 16 32 64; do mkswap -p `expr $i \* 1024` ./swap.file; done Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 4294963 kB Using user-specified page size 8192, instead of the system values 4096/4096 Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 4294959 kB Using user-specified page size 16384, instead of the system values 4096/4096 Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 4294950 kB Using user-specified page size 32768, instead of the system values 4096/4096 Setting up swapspace version 0, size = 4294934 kB Using user-specified page size 65536, instead of the system values 4096/4096 Setting up swapspace version 0, size = 4294901 kB Signed-off-by: Matthias Koenig <mkoenig@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
