I just add a partition /dev/sdb3 and use "mkswap /dev/sdb3" to make it swap space. How can I label the /dev/sdb3 like "SWAP-sdb3"?
what I want is put on /etc/fstab as entry like:
LABEL=SWAP-sdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0
Thanks

Do you plan to have two swap partitions on the same drive?
As far as I recall this may lead to a reduction in performence. I admit that I can't dig the actual reference. Maybe more competent users can comment on that?
The Linux Partition Howto has few sections on setting up swap space: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/index.html
My 2 cents.
