I'm using latest RELEASE version (FreeNAS-8.0.4-RELEASE-p3-x64) and left the "Create Swap partition"-Settings option in its standard 2 GB value.
After exporting the volume I've tried to import it again, but found myself unable to make any use of the (what I suppose is the) UFS swap partition that was automagically created.

Any hint how I "re-import" it / assign it to the imported UFS volume?


Case in point:
ada0 500 GB SATA drive

ada0p1 2 GB UFS swap
ada0p2 498 GB UFS partition

Import ada0p2 as UFS - SUCCESS
Import ada0p1 as UFS - FAILED ... ?

PS: it seems it is crucial to import ALL partitions of a volume for the volume to enter "HDD standby" - so this 2GB partition is literally making my volumes run non-stop for nothing. (Can anyone confirm this?)

Thanks for any replies.

swap partitions are not imported. They are used by swap only. So, don't worry !

The best you can do is to omit the swap partition ( set = 0) and have enough memory. The next best is to
swap to a dedicated drive.
