     Apparently, swapctl err's out on first failure. Anwyay, you can use
     swapctl -a /dev/sd1b for now.
     
     I propose this patch:
     
     --- swapctl.c   27 Aug 2006 21:07:39 -0000      1.32
     +++ swapctl.c   9 Sep 2007 10:18:46 -0000
     @@ -469,7 +469,8 @@ add_swap(char *path, int priority)
      
             if (swapctl(SWAP_ON, path, priority) < 0) {
      oops:
     -               err(1, "%s", path);
     +               warn("%s", path);
     +               return 0;
             }
             return (1);
      }
 
 
 this patch seems fine to me.
