After several multiple clean re-installations of Ubuntu 11.10 x86 from the original 11.04 on my Lenovo S12 (Intel Atom) laptop, I find I have six swap partitions. The original 11.04 had only one.
I believe I only need one and wonder why (and how) all these extra partitions appeared, un-noticed until I start to try to make Hibernate function properly.
Is this normal, or is it a bug?
From my terminal...
-@-:~$ cat /etc/fstab | grep swap
# swap was on /dev/sda10 during installation
