Swap doesn't activate, drive changed [solved]

I have 8 drives in my system on 2 controllers.  The bios prefers them on one controller first, followed by the other.  I understood Linux didn't care about this.  I want to use the first drive on the second controller as my boot drive.  When I installed, this drive was listed as sda.  After a couple of reboots, it became sde.  Now it's back to sda.  It doesn't matter to the system as I am using labels, except for swap.  When the drives change, it doesn't activate because fstab is looking for the wrong drive.  What's the solution for this?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … ice_naming says you can use a label for swap too.
