Package: live-boot Version: 4.0~a7-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Testing this now with debian-live-7.0.0-i386-xfce-desktop.iso (transferred to a usb pen with syslinux). The parameter "swapon" as described in "man live-boot" does nothing at all. Looking at /lib/live/boot/3020-swapon it should anyway be "swap" mot "swapon" Adding "swap" to cmdline, a correct entry is written to /etcfstab.d/swap .. however that swap partition is not activated. Current versions of libmount (util-linux) do not read and process fstab.d This behaviour is also observed on custom sid live builds using current live- boot from experimental. It is a problem for machines with low ram. My temporary working fix is to edit 3020-swapon (inside the initrd) to write to /etc/fstab -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages live-boot depends on: ii live-boot-initramfs-tools [live-boot-backend] 3.0.1-1 Versions of packages live-boot recommends: ii live-boot-doc 3.0.1-1 ii live-tools 3.0.20-1 ii rsync 3.0.9-4 pn uuid-runtime <none> Versions of packages live-boot suggests: ii cryptsetup 2:1.4.3-4 pn curlftpfs <none> pn httpfs2 <none> pn unionfs-fuse <none> ii wget 1.13.4-3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
