[Bug 730023] Re: Mountall doesn't swapon with 'ignore'-d swap in fstab

[Peter-Alexander]

Ubuntu 12.04: Bug still present!

My case was following:

# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=d5d3bfde-29e5-4d5e-8ca6-9910313c8a12 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /home was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=b522fa3f-d86c-4e3a-bd1a-d83394db8ea1 /home           ext4    defaults        0       2
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=a2e9e24f-56dd-4b5c-9afc-59bc4f90e52c none            swap    sw              0       0
# Partition on external hdd (to prevent automounting)
UUID=C8D8C57CD8C56970      none    auto    noauto              0     0

after changing to:


# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=d5d3bfde-29e5-4d5e-8ca6-9910313c8a12 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /home was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=b522fa3f-d86c-4e3a-bd1a-d83394db8ea1 /home           ext4    defaults        0       2
# WinXP partition on external hdd (to prevent automounting)
UUID=C8D8C57CD8C56970      none    auto    noauto              0     0
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=a2e9e24f-56dd-4b5c-9afc-59bc4f90e52c none            swap    sw              0       0

it worked.

Title:
  Mountall doesn't swapon with 'ignore'-d swap in fstab

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  I use Maverick.

  If there are more entrys in fstab with 'none' as mountpoint they
  overwrite each other in mountall internal list unless the fstype is
  swap. I had 2 swap partitions, one for ubuntu and one for arch, and
  changed the latter type to 'ignore' but that overwrote the swap in
  mountall as mentioned before, and it was not mounted.

  fstab and patch to make new list item also with ignore types attached.
