[Bug 38171] Re: Partitioner insists on formatting swap unnecessarily
surely this bug is simple to fix? just do not reformat swap! i'm assuming this happens because swap is autodetected and assigned to be used. any assignments to the partition table, normally allocating partitions to paths, result in a format being necessary AT THE END. why swap needs to be reformated before configuring LVM is a mystery to me. this is not critical, but NB it will cause other installations to fail to mount their swap because the UUID is changed on a mkswap. ** Attachment added: "1237672876372.jpg" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24207042/1237672876372.jpg -- Partitioner insists on formatting swap unnecessarily https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38171 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 38171] Re: Partitioner insists on formatting swap unnecessarily
Still true for hardy and intrepid. N.b. the UUID of the swap partitions is changed by the installer, so if you are installing multiple versions of ubuntu on one machine, even if you do not use recognised swap in the new install, the swap will not be mounted by the original installation. This is because the UUID is used in fstab. A very useful alternative behaviour would be for intrepid to automount any swap it finds (perhaps unless it contains a hibernated image). -- Partitioner insists on formatting swap unnecessarily https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38171 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for report it!.

This bug is is still alive and well with Gutsy Tribe 4.
