swap partition

[theprez98]

Could someone with a dedicated swap partition please post the contents of their /etc/fstab file. I'm reorganizing my drive, and I have the new swap partition properly formatted, but the /etc/fstab file still reflects the previous settings. Thanks!

FYI, I manually activated it by:

umount /mnt/hda3
swapon /dev/hda3

However, I want to make sure this is reflected in the /etc/fstab file.
