Description of problem: Removing swap device from grub kernel command line and LVM, but not from /etc/fstab renders the system unbootable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-245.7-1.fc32.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a standard F32 installation, remove swap entries from /boot/grub2/grubenv 2. Remove swap volume from LVM 3. Leave the entry for /dev/mapper/fedora-swap in /etc/fstab 3. Reboot Actual results: Boot hangs indefinitely at [*** ] A start job is running for /dev/mapper/fedora-swap (3min 55s / no limit) Expected results: Boot should proceed without swap if swap device cannot be found.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '32'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Yeah, the story with failing things in early boot is pretty bad. It certainly needs a revamp, but so far there have always been more pressing issues. Hopefully one day. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1096910 ***
