For some reason my partition /Volumes/Swap has been renamed in thw mount point as Swap 1. Under Linux I'd look in the /etc/fstab and change it back to Swap. Under OSX there's no mount point info there. How can change what is /Volumes/Swap back to having a Swap mount point? Thanks!

Look in /Volumes to see if there is a folder there named "Swap". If so, delete it. Restart and that partition should be remounted as it's correct name. If there is no file or folder in /Volumes named "Swap" then I'm at a loss.

Thanks Xeo, that did it, but I deleted Swap 1 the moved the swap file back there.

Thanks a lot. I was at a lost there with no mount points of references to Swap 1 in my partition info, etc.
