You sound like you have setup the swap partitions correctly. Flopswap controls which partitions are active it will never try to strip them. So you will start on your device swap if you are using version <=0.1.9, later versions I have made flopswap enable the "Use External Swap on boot" option in the menu as a default. If you are still having trouble can you pastebin or post the output of Code: blkid | grep swap ##(needs root) dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}\n' upstart dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}\n' flopswap cat /etc/default/mount-opts-overwrite cat /etc/default/mount-opts cat /etc/fstab
blkid | grep swap ##(needs root) dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}\n' upstart dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}\n' flopswap cat /etc/default/mount-opts-overwrite cat /etc/default/mount-opts cat /etc/fstab
