I tried running `sudo nano /etc/fstab/` but such a file did not exist. So `nano` displays the following error:

`[ Error reading lock file /etc/.fstab.swp: Not enough data read ]`

Some other background info about my setup, I had a swap parition defined during the OS installation but due to space constaints on my main partition I deleted it, and consumed the space. 

Afterwards I added a second drive to my system and I'm trying to use one of its partitions as the swap. This is possible with `GParted` using the `swapon` command but it needs to be done after every reboot. 

Is there a way to permanently set the new partition as my swap?
