[Bug 94423] Re: [feisty] Swap partition listed as ext2 and swap in fstab

[john]

I have not thought about this since the bug report..  I do a clean Ubuntu
install every 18 months or so and have not run into this unique combination
of events.

So if you cannot reproduce the bug can be closed.

Title:
  [feisty] Swap partition listed as ext2 and swap in fstab

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The following was during a Feisty Herd CD 5 install

  1) Booted to the CD.

  2) Formatted both partitions (hda1 and hda5) as ext2 (hda5 is my swap
  partition).  Yes I purposly formatted both this way.   Just expected
  the installer to correctly reformat hda5 as swap.

  3) Completed the install letting the installer auto partition so that
  /dev/hda1 is primary (ext3) and /dev/hda5 is swap.

  4) The first reboot hung,  switched the console and saw that it was
  complaining about not being able to mount /dev/hda5 as ext2. (Which
  must have been correctly reformatted as swap)

  5) Typed exit and the boot continued.

  6) Edited fstab and saw two entries for /dev/hda5.  The first entry
  was listed as ext2,  the second as swap.

  7) Remove the /dev/hda5 ext2 entry from fstab, left the /dev/hda5 swap
  entry as is  (both lines specified UUID)

  8) Rebooted no swap

  9) mkswap /dev/hda5,  (just in case)

  10) Rebooted no swap

  11) changed the UUID to /dev/hda5 for swap line

  12) Rebooted swap works

  It appears as if the installer noticed both ext2 partitions,
  therefore it added them to fstab,  even though during the install
  process one of them was converted to swap.
