[Bug 206035] New: Partitioner won't leave mount points for spare swap blank
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206035 Summary: Partitioner won't leave mount points for spare swap blank Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: uschold@dbh3.us QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I have three partitions formatted as swap (id 82), all on the same hard drive. One is currently mounted for SuSE10.1 and the others are for future Linuxes. The spare swap has the mount point blank and the "Do not mount at boot" flag set. I have over a dozen total partitions on this drive. When I open the partitioner there will be a non-blank value in the mount point box for the spare swap partitions. This is a mount point from another existing partition. When I edit some particular partition, which is NOT swap, and then save, fstab is updated with the bogus mount point for swap. In one test case, fstab had this line: /dev/sda11 /boot swap acl,user_xattr 0 0 I can avoid the problem by specifically editing the spare swap partitions and resetting the mount point to blank and setting the "Do not mount at boot" flag, before I save the changes. also, see Forum/Group: opensuse.org.suse-linux.support.install-configure-administration Subject: Partitioner won't leave mount points blank Date: 2006-Sep-12 -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

It was not clear to me from the email I received about a month ago, that you were requesting information from me. I have attached a zipped file containing the current and six previous y2log files. There is one more older y2log file. It is nearly 140 MB. If you need that one too, let me know. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Fix will be in Beta#1 of SL 10.2. A workaround for SL 10.1 would be to remove the labels on the swap partitions. A question, just out of curiosity. Why have three separate swap partitions and not share the swap partitions between multiple installations. At least to my knowledge there are no incompatibilities concerning swap since at least kernel 2.2 -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206035 ------- Comment #6 from uschold@dbh3.us 2006-10-23 10:22 MST ------- On the discussion forum, someone said that the swap is used by the "save to disk" mode and he recommended seperate swap partitions. Since this is a laptop, that seemed reasonable. I don't really plan on using that mode, often, but I might change my mind. I did try it once, and the computer never restored properly. I never submitted a bug report as there are warnings that this mode may not work. Well, it does not work! -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206035 ------- Comment #7 from fehr@novell.com 2006-10-23 10:31 MST ------- Swap partition is used by the so called "suspend to disk" mode, so this could indeed be a valid use case for multiple swap partitions. But you must be very careful not to have any filesystems rw-mounted in common between two installations. Otherwise you may awfully crash a suspended session after resume. Anyway, thanks for reporting this, the problem was unnoticed since months and could easily have slipped into SL 10.2 since not many people are using labels for swap partitions. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
