Subject: debian-installer: Partitioner alters current swap UUID's Package: debian-installer Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer, Installing Debian 8.6.0, at the completion of partitioning, the installer finds all the swap partitions on other installations on other drives and will not proceed until I confirm. Then it reformats all those swap partitions, changing their UUID's. Then when trying to boot one of those other Debian operating systems, systemd will not recognise the swap from fstab, timing out or sometimes entering recovery mode until I alter fstab to its new swap UUID. I work round this by deleting all swap partitions and commenting out the references in fstabs before an installation. I would like the installer to give me an option to create swaps or bypass. dsd -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (750, 'stable'), (500, 'testing'), (250, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
