Hi,

Has anyone experienced an issue with the Swap partition on destinaion disk when doing a restore from image? I did a restore from an image to a new disk. The restore was sucessful acording to the wizard. I boot up with the new disk and during startup process, there is a failure error: " activating swap partitions: swapon: /dev/hda3 : No such device or address " . the system still come up fine with this error and all applications functions as normal.
The original disk does not get this error.
Im using RedHat Linux 9 with kernal 2.4.20-6.

It worries me that I get this error.

Hello danmartin,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Linux Backup Software (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/ATISLin/).

Please suggest the following command:

# fdisk -l /dev/hda

and then please make shure that your Swap partition has the same address:

# vi /etc/fstab

If the problem remains please contact me again.

Thank you.

thankyou Irina.
The entry in the fstab was incorrect because the original disk was labeled hda while the new disk is hdb so the fstab was pointing to the hda3. when i change it to hdb3, the system was able to find the swap partition.
