Version: 2.03.1-2
Severity: important
I recently added a 128M swapfile to my system located in /swapfile.
Now, when I run mondoarchive, even when I specify -E /swapfile, it
deadlocks when it reads /swapfile (which ends up in biggielist.txt). If
it matters, I was doing a differential backup. I haven't yet tried a
full.
The only way to break the deadlock is with the command 'swapoff -a'. Then
when mondarchive has gotten past that point, I run 'swapon -a' to
reenable swap.

X-Spam-Level:
swapfiles shouldn't be accessed from userspace so the swap code takes
the inode semaphore that's needed for access to it as long as the swap
space is enabled. So this is expected although annoying behaviour.
