Public bug reported: I've found a verycritical bug with the swap in my feisty. When my swap memory is half full, my computer crashes.
See this : # cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda6 partition 305192 13600 -1 /dev/mapper/sda6 partition 305192 0 -2 I have the same swap partition registered two times in my kernel to provide swap. The problem is that when the first swap partition is full, my computer crashes, because the second swap doesn't exist, I think that Linux kernel rewrite on the same partition. See my memory stats : # cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 1026468 kB MemFree: 110860 kB Buffers: 143848 kB Cached: 398908 kB SwapCached: 31572 kB Active: 442112 kB Inactive: 318372 kB HighTotal: 121676 kB HighFree: 732 kB LowTotal: 904792 kB LowFree: 110128 kB SwapTotal: 610384 kB SwapFree: 576432 kB Dirty: 196 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 186208 kB Mapped: 69900 kB Slab: 83700 kB SReclaimable: 65984 kB SUnreclaim: 17716 kB PageTables: 2568 kB NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Bounce: 0 kB CommitLimit: 1123616 kB Committed_AS: 542792 kB VmallocTotal: 114680 kB VmallocUsed: 9048 kB VmallocChunk: 105416 kB Moreover, my swap is registered one time only into /etc/fstab : # cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda5 -- converted during upgrade to edgy UUID=8ba19b8f-ad1e-43e9-bcdb-3f42ae29ad83 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /dev/sda6 -- converted during upgrade to edgy UUID=2c4065a4-a22f-4a1f-8713-43dd7672f746 none swap sw 0 0 # /dev/sda7 -- converted during upgrade to edgy UUID=a7780f6a-856d-41a2-b216-df3444a8832a /home ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 # /dev/sda2 -- converted during upgrade to edgy UUID=6C342AE4342AB14E /mnt/windows ntfs-3g rw,user,auto,gid=100,nls=utf8,umask=002 0 0 I've updated my edgy to feisty. My edgy was a dapper. Do you have an idea to correct this ? Thanks you very much for your response. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- two swap partitions registered but only one swap partition exists https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112876 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
