1) I noticed two swap partitions. Was that me being absent-minded when I did the installation/upgrade a year ago? Then I noticed:
Any ideas?
I'm not sure about the EFI partitions, but using the `swapon` and associated tools (swapoff, swaplabel), you can check which swap area is being used, enable / disable them (multiple swap areas are allowed, it appears), etc. Interestingly, the man page says:
The swaplabel utility allows changing the label or UUID on an actively used swap device.
But I'm not having success with that (using /dev/sda5).
swaplabel -L myswap /dev/sda5
swaplabel: /dev/sda5: failed to write label: Text file busy
Disabling swap (`swapoff -a`) then `swaplabel -L myswap /dev/sda5` does not complain, but also doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure I actually have any understanding of this. At all. Hopefully someone can chime in with answers / suggestions to our issues. rb
