Hello,
I have just installed DSM on my hard disk (the full install, not the frugal). With cfdisk I have created a swap partition of about 64 MB (my RAM is 32 MB) on /dev/hda2 (the entire system is on /dev/hda1), but it seems that DSL doesn't use this swap partition, the little box on the lower right corner says that hda2 is unmounted, and nothing happens if I try to mount it, since the system displays this error: mount: you must specify the filesystem type.

What can I do?

Try to do these next commands:
mkswap /dev/hda2
and
swapon /dev/hda2

It should work, and remember, you need to be root to do those commands.
