Description Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev

2013-10-06 12:07:44 UTC

Steps to reproduce:

1) ln -s /bin/busybox /bin/sh

2) reboot

 * Activating swap devices ...
swapon: invalid option -- e
BusyBox v1.20.2 (2013-09-06 00:05:09 UTC) multi-call binary.

Usage: swapon [-a] [-p PRI] [DEVICE]

Start swapping on DEVICE

        -a      Start swapping on all swap devices
        -p PRI  Set swap device priority

 [ ok ]

looking at the swap init script:
Linux)          swapon -a -e >/dev/null;;

so the busybox builtin takes precedence because it's not using the absolute path.

... maybe hardcoding the full path to swapon makes sense?
