No, it may be that when I resized the device it changed things.
my swap was on the same drive and I added a partition between the swap 
and original device. so it was
/dev/sda1 torios (19 gig)
/dev/sda2 [SWAP]

and became
/dev/sda1 torios (4 Gig)
/dev/sda3 new obi root (15 gig)
/dev/sda5 [SWAP] shared swap

Does this make sense?
