Description Robert Scheck 2006-06-22 20:10:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
"Enabling local swap partitions:" always fails with "swapon: /dev/cciss!c0d0p3: 
Device or resource busy" ("Fehlgeschlagen" means "failed") - sorry for the 
German screenshot. The problem is not SELinux related, I was just relabeling 
before, but this error is displayed during any startup.

Swap seems to be available normal:
$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3                       partition       1048552 0       -1
$

$ free

Expected results:
Would be very nice to see this fixed. Please reassign the bug to the quota 
package, if needed...

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2006-06-29 04:24:31 UTC 
Oh, blah. blkid returns the path with the '!' in it?
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2006-07-21 15:56:35 UTC 
What's the output of 'blkid' on your system?
Comment 4 Robert Scheck 2006-07-21 17:14:21 UTC 
Oh, didn't get comment #2 per e-mail. Here's output of blkid (UUIDs have been 
trunicated) on my system:

/dev/cciss/c0d0p1: LABEL="/boot" UUID="41e532d3cc77" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2: LABEL="/" UUID="b601fb50c59a" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/cciss/c0d0p3: TYPE="swap"
/dev/cciss!c0d0p3: TYPE="swap"
/dev/cciss!c0d0p2: LABEL="/" UUID="b601fb50c59a" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/cciss!c0d0p1: LABEL="/boot" UUID="41e532d3cc77" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2006-07-21 17:49:48 UTC 
OK, that needs fixed in libblkid; it should not be returning paths with the '!'
in it...
Comment 6 Thomas Woerner 2006-07-24 09:02:19 UTC 
No, it is no option that libblkid does not resolve partitions where the path
contains special chars. This is no option at all.

The question is: Where does these special entries come from?

Assigning back to initscripts.
Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2006-07-24 14:07:14 UTC 
? These entries are returned by blkid... it's reading the '!' path from sysfs,
and needs to be able to resolve it to the actual device.
Comment 8 Robert Scheck 2006-11-11 17:08:19 UTC 
The initial problem seems to be fixed for me at least in initscripts 8.46-1
and/or e2fsprogs 1.39-7.
