Hi all,
I have done some testing with the most recent ISO.
There is an issue.
If I resize a partition and add a new partition, then try to reuse the
original swap, the original OS does not find the swap.
This has the long boot bug.
The solution?
perhaps the only real solution is to manually generate fstab files for
EVERY install that exists, assuming that they are on the same device (if
it is repartitioned) I do not think this issue existed previous to
systemd inclusion, but systemd does something to verify the UUID of the
drives, and this causes issues in our instance.
So unfortunately there is more testing to be done....
Hi Israel,
[Replying again]
I have not yet done the testing, but I have tried to understand.
Are you saying that ToriOS debian does not accept to 're-use' the swap
partition's UUID, hence making it hard to share a swap partition with
a previously installed system?
I am not sure [yet] that it should be blamed on systemd, because
Xenial and Yakkety are not affected and they boot via systemd. Maybe
it is a feature of Debian, that it creates/refreshes the swap
partition. In that case you can try to store the UUID in a shell
variable uidsav and reuse it with
mkswap -U $uidsav $swaptarget
instead of having to rewrite all the fstab files.
(Maybe this is what you have already done ?!)
Best regards
Nio
No, it may be that when I resized the device it changed things.
my swap was on the same drive and I added a partition between the swap
and original device. so it was
/dev/sda1 torios (19 gig)
/dev/sda2 [SWAP]
and became
/dev/sda1 torios (4 Gig)
/dev/sda3 new obi root (15 gig)
/dev/sda5 [SWAP] shared swap
Does this make sense?
