The partition type indicator is not very reliable. Yes. Yes. :) ...yup, you're right. The swaps cannot be shared without workarounds. Sigh, so i have to write an fdisk/disklabel command in FreeBSD's /etc/rc, and a mkswap command in Linux' /etc/rc. (I don't have an idea why they do wanna know the `length' parameter for this command, even when applied to a physical partition.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
