Description Rhys Robinson 2006-08-06 18:14:53 UTC

When swap space is erased in /etc/init.d/halt.sh (by setting RC_SWAP_ERASE="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc) swapon -a cannot mount swapspace on subsequent boots.
Requires mke2fs [partition] and mkswap to fix.
Found that out here http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1399
Writing 0's to swap superblock not a great idea perhaps?

running mke2fs makes no sense at all

the halt code runs `mkswap` on the partition after erasing it, so needing to run mkswap yourself also makes no sense

post the output when shutting down
