--- Begin Message ---Package: dphys-swapfile Version: 20100506-3 Severity: important The setup subcommand uses fallocate(1) which sometimes creates spare files. Those cannot be used for swapfiles as "swapon" will fail with "swapfile has holes". Always using dd instead of fallocate seems better as it ensures the generated swapfile is valid. The fact that it takes more time than fallocate is also a good thing, since it done synchronously. Offending part: # use fallocate if found to create swapfile, else use dd type fallocate > /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then fallocate -l "${CONF_SWAPSIZE}"M "${CONF_SWAPFILE}" 2> /dev/null else dd if=/dev/zero of="${CONF_SWAPFILE}" bs=1048576 \ count="${CONF_SWAPSIZE}" 2> /dev/null fi Notes: * this bug is subtly different from #906767. * I'm using f2fs a the root fs * There is enough space left -- Steve Schnepp "A man is not dead while his name is still spoken." -- T.
