SWAP gone when running mainline
Hi, I run a recent re-kernel (using lubuntu 12.04) and when I boot into it, "free" says I don't _have_ (and use) any SWAP. Of course on ubuntu's kernel it works. When could I start looking around? .config? sysfs knob? I have no idea. thanks -- Martin Kepplinger
Let me get this right: you have 2 distros? On one (ubuntu) you have swap and on other (lubuntu) not? Looks like missing fstab entry too me Greg. 27 sty 2013 13:24, "Martin Kepplinger" <martink@posteo.de> napisał(a):

Sorry, that wasn't clear. Nope, I just have one distro: Lubuntu. I installed a rc-mainline-kernel and when I boot into it, there is no swap. On the distro-kernel there of course is. thanks On 2013-01-27 13:30, Grzegorz Dwornicki wrote:

Please don't do top posting.... Which rc kernel version do you use? and can you show us the entries of your /etc/fstab? -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com

it was rc4, now it's 3.8.0-rc5. My fstab: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation UUID=187122e0-ad4a-4b27-8ec3-bb9217f162d0 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation #UUID=d1313f27-8580-490e-bec3-55ac44d64f0e none swap sw 0 0 /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 ecryptfs should be the problem. I use an encrypted home and swap. "free" says Swap: 0 0 0.

ecryptfs should be the problem. I use an encrypted home and swap. "free" says Swap: 0 0 0.
I see.... ok my suggestion is...how about converting that swap partition back to normal swap using mkswap? If it works (of course, you need to adjust /etc/fstab accordingly), then ecryptfs is really the culprit here. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
