Bug#278021: debian-installer: multiple swap devices should get equal priority in fstab
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
When using multiple swap devices, it would be nice if they were given
the same priority in /etc/fstab when they are on different physical
disks. This would ensure the maximum benefit of several swap devices,
since the kernel will use them in a round-robin fashion.
I suppose the easiest way would be to just give every swap device the
parameter pri=1 in /etc/fstab, even though that would result in lower
performance if someone happens to use two swap partitions on the same
drive. I can't imagine why someone would do that, though.
