[CoLoCo] I'm confused about how the disk works

[Kenneth D Weinert]

I'll have to double check when I get home - it's possible that
the /dev/sdaX is commented out but it should be mounting via UUID as I
see the UUIDs in /etc/fstab. It's possible that I didn't look close
enough at the file.

Still, I had no swap activated until I entered "swapon /dev/sda5" and I
thought that swap should have been activated on boot.

Bears a closer look and I appreciate the discussion so far.
