Description of Problem: "man swapon" says: -a All devices marked as ``sw'' swap devices in /etc/fstab are made available. Devices that are already running as swap are silently skipped. However, they are _not_ silently skipped: # /sbin/swapon -a swapon: /dev/hde6: Device or resource busy Since /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit runs swapon twice, the second time it causes unpleasant error messages during startup. How Reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RedHat 7.1 with a swap partition and without swap files. 2. Boot it. Actual Results: An error message appears after "Enabling swap space", followed by [Ok] Expected Results: No error message. Actually, "Enabling swap space" is useless too, but it's another story. Additional Information: Update to mount-2.11b-3 doesn't fix the problem.
This was fixed in 7.2.
