swap space not mounting

Emma_01
hi there

I just noticed this morning that the swap space didn't mount.

I got this when i was forced to reboot last night because of what might have been an emergancy shutdown.

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7               494143    104008    364621  22% /
/dev/hda3               153727     56351     89438  39% /var/log
/dev/hda5               109802     57683     46450  55% /var/chroot-smtp
/dev/hda6                51237         6     48586   0% /var/recovery
/dev/hda8               274514      8153    252187   3% /var/chroot-squid

none                    155464         0    155464   0% /var/shm

and here are the mrtg png this morning
 http://www.planetorange.com/wierd.html 

I have rebooted and swap (/dev/hda2 according to /etc/fstab) is still not mounted

what would cause this?

    strange. try mount -a on the console and see if you get an error message.

    Hi all,

    mounting swap space .... ????
    You cant mount swap space, never!

    Please try cat /proc/meminfo and everything becomes good :-)

    still no swap space after a few reboots.

    Anyone else seen this problem?

    thanks

    sorry, brain fart.

    what I meant is swapon -a, not mount -a  

    try this:
