That did the trick. For anyone else that comes across this problem. It looks like updating the firmware with the usb drive in was the difference. If you update the firmware and reconfigure things you might wanna do it with the usb drive out. Second time around and I am back up and running. Thanks for the help.

I have not run the mkswap command on the partition before and it still gives that error. The sdb2 vs sda2 happens because of the following. If my fstab looks as follows config mount option target /usb option device /dev/sdb1 option fstype ext4 option options rw,sync option enabled 1 option enabled_fsck 0 config swap option device /dev/sdb2 option enabled 1 when I plug in the usb drive it will mount it at /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 if I change the fstab to the following config mount option target /usb option device /dev/sda1 option fstype ext4 option options rw,sync option enabled 1 option enabled_fsck 0 config swap option device /dev/sda2 option enabled 1 when plugging in the usb drive it mounts it to /dev/sdb2 which is the state I had it in when i posted the request for help. Changing it back and forth has not helped either way so I just posted in the state I was in. The problem with the command not returning the correct response is that it doesn't appear to be reading the usb as part of the memory right now. root@Pineapple:~# free total used free shared buffers Mem: 29524 25180 4344 0 3636 -/+ buffers: 21544 7980 Swap: 0 0 0 root@Pineapple:~#

I keep getting the following message trying to create the swap on while the usb stick is plugged in mkswap /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy (I can switch it to sda2 by editing the fstab to have sdb init and when i mount the usb it will take the sda place). Anyone have any thoughts on how to get past the device or resource busy error? http://cl.ly/0v010g0d2z0b1y0a2f0a (screen shot of my settings)

Thanks this got it up and running for me. Appreciate the help
