[olug] swap problems

[Eric P]

I have an 80GB hard drive with one 20GB partition (/dev/hda1) followed by a 1GB extended partition containing a swap
partition (/dev/hda5).

While booted in a live CD, I deleted the extended/swap partition, grew the 20GB partition to 78GB, and added back and
grew the extended/swap partition (still /dev/hda5) to 2GB.

When I booted (Kubuntu Edgy), the swap no longer mounted.  I took a look at fstab and noticed this line for the swap mount:
UUID=f957f278-1813-448b-8612-246487279ea1 none swap sw 0 0

So I figure I just need to determine what the UUID is now for the newly relocated swap.  This command accomplishes that:
ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -al
...
5eda3f56-38f7-4cab-872a-1b1aff4e9554 -> ../../hda5
...

Ok, so I copy this UUID over the old UUID in fstab, reboot and the 'free' command now shows the swap's available space
again.  I'm happy.

However, it's been a few weeks, and I was checking 'free', and the swap isn't being mounted again.  I double-check the
UUID (ls command above) and compare it w/the fstab entry, but they are in sync.

$ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -al
total 0

$ cat /etc/fstab | grep swap
# /dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0

UUID=5eda3f56-38f7-4cab-872a-1b1aff4e9554 none swap sw 0 0

Thanks for any ideas.
