Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

My reading of checkroot.sh is that it will not turn
swap on if it detects _any_ lvm or swapfile swap partitions.
If there are also "regular" swap partitions they will not
be activated and the fsck of the root filesystem will
have less VM available, and the fsck could fail due
to lack of RAM.

The script should be smarter and turn on regular swap
partitons even when there are other sorts of partitions
that may be unavailable at the moment.  Perhaps
swapon -e would work?
