Can you post your full current /etc/fstab and /proc/swaps? I tried to reproduce this and wasn't able:
psusi@faldara:~$ cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/dm-4 partition 2097148 0 1 /dev/dm-14 partition 1048572 0 2 cat /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/faldara-vivid / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/mapper/faldara-Music /home/psusi/Music ext4 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/faldara-Videos /home/psusi/Videos ext4 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/faldara-swap none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 /dev/mapper/faldara-swap2 none swap sw,pri=2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516225 Title: Swapon does not respect fstab priorities order Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: uname -a Linux msi-ge60-ubuntu 4.2.0-18-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 18:25:50 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux sudo swapon --summary Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sdc2 partition 50331644 0 -1 /dev/sda6 partition 50331644 0 -2 However, in /etc/fstab: # swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation UUID=4870beef-bb2c-40c1-91da-f1444f90c51b none swap sw,nofail,pri=-1 0 0 # swap on SSD Samsung /dev/sdc2 UUID=fa2b8ce4-6ce7-4fb2-ac12-475264bed20f none swap sw,nofail,pri=-2 0 0 Does the fact that sdc2 is a SSD makes swapon override the fstab priorities? It is suspicious that swapon prints sdc2 first in the summary. despite the following facts: - sdc2 priority is -2 in fstab - sdc2 is declared after sda2 in fstab - sdc2 is after sda2 in alphabetical order To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/1516225/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
