That does sound a bit strange.  It'd be interesting to know what errno
you end up with after the failing ioctl.  The code looks pretty much OK
to me.

Might also be worth turning the swap on hda2 off (or not setting it up
in the first place) just to see if that makes a difference.  It
shouldn't, but you never know.
