tlug: adding swap

[Viktor Pavlenko <pavlenko@example.com>]

Hi,

I wanted to enable some additional swap at the boot time, so added the
folloing line into /etc/fstab to mount my swap file:

/home/swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

Since swap -a is envoked before the file systems are mounted, I'm
getting an error at startup:

swapon: cannot stat /home/swapfile: No such file or directory

And -- despite of that -- I have my swap file enabled (swapon -s)! (???)

Is it better to enable the additional swap in /etc/rc.d/rc.local?

Thanks.

P.S. I'm running RH 6.0
