Description Ömer Fadıl Usta 2015-03-21 04:06:59 UTC

anaconda or systemd creates swap values in /etc/fstab with a wrong pri value.

in /etc/fstab it shows as uuid=.... swap swap pri=1 0 0
on the other hand after system reboots systemd's fstab-generator gives
error and not enables swap. ( So if you didn't edit your /etc/fstab
and change value to uuid=... swap swap defaults 0 0  you will have
a DISABLED swap )

Why fstab-generator couldn't handle swap ? Because it is not programmed for
getting a negative value as pri parameter. Thus in logs it says :

systemd-fstab-generator[16571]: Failed to parse priority: Numerical result out of range

PS: I'm not sure systemd or anaconda or basesystem have wrong pri=-1 entry
thus i entered bug as anaconda bug, please reassign it to correct package.
Thanks

systemd's fstab generator is checking if pri exist or it is between 0 - 32767 
so if we delete pri=-1 part from /etc/fstab it will be not a problem for 
fstab-generator ( pri is optional )

Edit : in my bug description i wrote that 
uuid=... swap swap pri=1 0 0
but it was a typo and in /etc/fstab it was
uuid=... swap swap pri=-1 0 0

(this -1 causing problem )
