[Bug 308121] New: do not run swapoff -a in yast install scripts
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=308121 Summary: do not run swapoff -a in yast install scripts Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 3 Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- yast does a swapoff -a in the inst-sys. It does not make much sense to "release" a swap partition, because its not a filesystem. It can be reused right away after reboot. All the logfiles go into tmpfs (and into swap if the system is low on memory). Doing a swapoff means everything has to fit into memory, which will likely lead to a OOM kill and an unclean shutdown. It may make sense to parse /proc/swaps and release only (manually added) swap files to allow clean umount of mounted filesystems. there are no y2logs for this bug. svngrep -wn swapoff in the toplevel y2 repository will show all culprits. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
