    Re: Not using swap

    inside gparted, select the faulty partition, and from the menu, select to repair the table (but dont format that partition, otherwise backup first)

    note: a new uuid is created each time a device is plugged/unplugged, so you need to update grub also, otherwise it cant know the new uuid.
    I was looking for repair, ​mixed communication i guess
    any way I would like to thank every one for the help

    I want to mark this thread as solved but can not find this in thread tools did they change something in policy

    Re: Not using swap

    if you didn't have anything important in swap , the way you did it ( create a new swap and edit fstab ) is the easiest way . On my box with 4 gb mem I have NEVER seen swap used , I have multiple installs and use one swap for all of them .

    Re: Not using swap

    Slightly off topic, but if you ever hit the swap, install zram-config. It'll compress things in memory before hitting the swap, MASSIVLY improving performance (as swap is very very slow).

    (Side note, I got 16gb ram, and regularly hit swap. It all depends on what your doing.. in my case, machine learning ).

    Did ZSwap (not to confuse with ZRAM) enter 3.9 kernel?
