Package: mount
Version: 2.12r-19
Severity: normal
File: /sbin/swapon

I recently upgraded to lenny. Now, during boot, I see red "Failed" text
nestled in the middle of a (seemingly unrelated) line. A line or two
below that (which I'm assuming is the source of the red "Failed" text),
I see

    swapon: /dev/hda2: Device or resource busy

However, after booting:

    $ dmesg |grep swap
    Adding 979956k swap on /dev/hda2.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:979956k
    $ dmesg |grep -i fail  
    $

Looking at /etc/init.d/mountall.sh, I see:

    #
    # Execute swapon command again, in case we want to swap to
    # a file on a now mounted filesystem.
    #
    # Ignore 255 status due to swap already being enabled
    #
    if [ "$VERBOSE" = no ]
    then
            log_action_begin_msg "Activating swapfile swap"
            swapon -a -e 2>/dev/null || :  # Stifle "Device or resource busy"
            log_action_end_msg 0
    else
            log_daemon_msg "Will now activate swapfile swap"
            swapon -a -e -v
            log_action_end_msg $?
    fi

I don't recall whether I saw "Activating swapfile swap" or "Will now
activate swapfile swap" although the former seems more familiar.
