I have to manually change the swap priorities after each boot to get the right order.
You are right: using the swap paths in /etc/fstab instead of UUIDs gives the configured priority to the right swap. Now you know where to look in the code to correct that issue, because the interesting thing about UUIDs is that the location of the devices can change between boots, which is my use case. -- 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
