Package: mount
Version: 2.12r-15
Severity: important
(Setting severity to "important", but maybe this is RC)
Recently I discovered that my system is not mounting the swap partition
(/dev/hdb2) anymore. I deleted and recreated the partition with fdisk,
then:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mkswap /dev/hdb2
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1028153 kB
no label, UUID=8bc5f55b-c1c5-4516-a5dd-9680599d243d
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# swapon /dev/hdb2
swapon: /dev/hdb2: Invalid argument
But everything seems to be set up correctly:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /proc/partitions | grep hdb2
3 66 1004062 hdb2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -l /dev/hdb2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 66 Jan 2 14:15 /dev/hdb2
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /proc/swaps
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~#
So I'm wondering what is wrong.
Thanks,
Adalbert

Closing this bug.
I found out that the problem reported above was due to a misconfigured
raid setup on my machine. The device /dev/hdb2 was bound into an array
by mistake and thus could not be used as swap anymore.
Sorry for the noise!
Thanks,
Adalbert
