[...] Could you please tell where to read up on that, URL or man page. I do not know where to apply your suggestion, nor the meaning of the '-p1' option. I should have said the original problem was associated with hibernation. (I also have 2 other desk tops that don't use RAID for swap.) For now, I'll leave the swap as is - but, I will rethink how I implement swap when I upgrade to Fedora 15.
