after reboot swap is no longer recognized by-uuid

Bug Description

i reboot very infrequently but when i do it seems that swap changes its uuid...

since swap is not activated the system will at some point grind to a halt when i open too many apps...a normal user would think ubuntu had crashed or is impossibly slow...

so i do

root@bigboy:~# swapon -a
swapon: cannot stat /dev/disk/by-uuid/8d7e4d92-eec7-4e71-be23-c870bf3c4a10: No such file or directory
root@bigboy:~# swapon /dev/hda4

i can always do swapon by /dev/hda4 but when i now look at /dev/disk/by-uuid:

root@bigboy:~# ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/
3890B82E90B7F10C 6ee41388-4075-4761-88c2-f0fd2a5922d3
48764247-4476-4465-a637-1e742dee5c63 fd4fe64f-3973-43e4-a59b-5673fb1578c0

there is now ny partition with the uuid which was /dev/hda4 before i rebooted...

is it me (ie. have i changed something in my setup) or is this happening to everybody?

thanks

sorry - this is edgy...and ive been with edgy since knot 1...have there been any reasons since then why the uuid should have changed?

does suspend to disk fail ? (it might corrupt the swap I think)
