Trying to format swap drive error


mkswap: /dev/vg_cajunchieflgt/LogVol00: warning: don't erase bootbits sectors
on whole disk. Use -f to force.
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 153599996 KiB
no label, UUID=771d0ee7-a6c2-42fa-9e55-2bc9afb520e0


Can this be fixed???

I think taht the message that annoys you is just a warning. Thus, the swapspace has been correctly set, you don't have to worry.
