From 95e1d8f3bad279c00cc87a388e383de3f3f3a3ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Petr Uzel Date: Sun, 13 May 2012 13:44:31 +0200 Subject: mkswap: allow creating swap on /dev/hd[ab] Currently, mkswap does not allow swap to be created on /dev/hda and /dev/hdb. There is no reason why /dev/hda and /dev/hdb should be treated differently.
