I am glad to see that
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs#fstab-malformed is
addressing what seems to be a very common bug. It recommends using UUID
or label instead /dev/sdxx. Please address how to do this for a swap
partition. In my case, even the f13 installer created an fstab entry
with the /dev notation.

Short answer is 'I don't know, patches welcome' =) doesn't it have a
UUID like any other partition?

Adam,
Have you added anything to the release criteria so that we can avoid
this problem in the subsequent releases?

Well, it's a fairly specific issue. If it had been raised for
consideration as a blocker it may well have been accepted as one under:
"# The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade
installation from a clean, fully updated default installation of the
previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to
the installer manually"
from the Beta criteria, given that the 'offending' fstabs were usually
created by previous Fedora versions, and not user-customized. But it
wasn't raised for consideration, AFAIR.

Adam,
I wasn't thinking clearly. I actually meant to recommend that this be
added as a test case.

Ah. Well, that kinda depends on what the anaconda team decide they want
to do with it - see the bug report, they haven't entirely made up their
minds yet, by the looks of it.

Would running "sudo(su) blkid" supply you with a uuid?
which you could then "UUID=somenumbersandletters swap swap defaults
0 0"
Open to correction on that

Certainly seems to here, doesn't even need the su; it gives a UUID for
my swap partition. In fact, now I see that on this system (a recent
clean F13 install), swap is mounted by UUID, so it seems we can just go
that route. Certainly if anyone wants to add more explicit instructions
for adjusting fstab to use UUIDs, please do go ahead. Otherwise I'll try
and get around to it soon.

my current systems are using UUID in fstab so the underlying cause of
the problem seems to be fixed in f13, i.e. bad fstab.
