no swap :( [solved]

following problem:
sometimes swap would be mounted, sometimes not!
but the log says that it is mostely not mounted !
i never get it to mind, all the time!
the log:
                                                http://www.kernel-oops.de/index.php?sit … e&show=558

# /etc/fstab: static file system information

none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto 0 0

/dev/sda4 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda3 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
#/dev/sda2 none swap defaults 0 0
#/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/exthdd ntfs noauto,uid=1000
/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs uid=1000

the two outcommended /dev/sda2 entries, were tests, because i got differend informations from different systems  nothing helped

in the log was a tip, i should test swapon -a:

[root@LinuXanT thecrazylol]# swapon -a
swapon: /dev/sda2: Das Argument ist ungültig
[root@LinuXanT thecrazylol]#

output of cfdisk:

cfdisk 2.12r

oh i forgot:

edit: ok i have a solution:
mkswap /dev/sda2; swapoff -a && swapon -a
that was it
