Public bug reported:
Name : cloud-init
Version : 20.2-1
Code in questioning: cloudinit/config/cc_mounts.py
try:
create_swap(fname, size, "fallocate")
except util.ProcessExecutionError as e:
LOG.warning(errmsg, fname, size, "dd", e)
LOG.warning("Will attempt with dd.")
create_swap(fname, size, "dd")
as there is a kernel bug in latest's linux versions, fallocate creates swap
images with holes.
The workaround is to move fallocate (make create_swap function to fail) so that
cloud-init will fallback to dd.
Used bootcmd (or cloud-boothook) to rename (move) fallocate binary from my
system but according the the logs, it didnt fallback to dd as it should.
Probably the error was not ProcessExecutionError
