mkswap -c /dev/hda2 13565

The -c option in the command line tells the mkswap utility to format the partition and check it for bad blocks. This
option slows down the creation
of the swap partition a little, but a bad block in the swap partition can cause your entire system to crash. If mkswap
finds any errors in the swap
space, it will generate an error message and mark the block as unusable by the operating system (the block is removed
from the total available
for swap space). Because mkswap flags bad blocks to be left alone, you can ignore the bad block messages unless there is
a considerable
number of them (ten or more is a good limit in a 16M partition), in which case your hard drive has too many bad blocks
and you should consider
either low-level formatting it or replacing it with a new drive.
