Hello, I see you're dealing with a tricky setup on your Debian servers. It sounds like you moved SSDs between machines, but the swap partition isn't activating on one of them. You mentioned checking with tools like fdisk, blkid, and fstab, but everything seems fine. Could there be a compatibility issue with the new server or a misconfiguration during the swap setup? It might help to verify the partition table and ensure the correct device is being used. Let me know if you'd like further guidance.

Have you considered removing it entirely and starting over? It seems like a simple swap, so there shouldn't be any issues. It should take only a short time to test.

Certainly, here are some alternative options to consider if the initial approach doesn't yield results.

Unable to relate personally as I haven't faced this before, but perhaps some helpful points are shared here.

I understand you're new to swap partitions and don't have much experience with them.

Have you explored mkswap? It might be that the partition isn't set up properly. mkswap /dev/sda5

Also verify with parted/fdisk to confirm the swap partition carries the right label. It’s likely it won’t function without the correct label.

Thank you for your feedback. The changes worked after updating the UUID in fstab. Appreciate your help!
