Re: swap on second hard drive
Peter Hillier-Brook composed on 2016-05-17 16:41 (UTC+0100):
I recently re-formatted and re-partitioned a second disk that I use for
experimenting with various distributions. A consequence is that previous
UUIDs have disappeared into the bit bucket but, during booting of my
main system a script somewhere is trying to use the swap partition that
used to exist on the second disk.
This is not a major problem, as the system boots after a 90 second delay
for a start job that is never going to start and a dependency failure
message is output, but I would like to find and fix the problem. Can
anyone offer a pointer to a likely source?
That was happening here last summer:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=936964
Maybe all that's needed to fix it is initrd rebuilding.
Mounting by UUID is an optional default. Mounting life is simpler here,
because I don't use UUID mounting on any of my hundreds of multiboot
installations. Most of my mounts are by LABEL, strings I as a fallible human
choose and can remember, according to usage, disk name and/or hostname.
