Just adding a “sleep” is no proper fix anyway, so the question
is, how to wait in a shell script until the swap device is
*really* swapoff’d when the syscall returns too early, and
(someone from the Linux kernel maintainers reading this?) should
I report the latter as a bug against the kernel?
I don't think this as a kernel bug, many stuffs have timeout on all
OSes, however you can stop the execution flow of a script using an
endless loop then interrupt it when a condition is satisfied, e.g.:
while true
do
/usr/bin/grep lv-swp1 /proc/swaps >/dev/null 2>&1
[ $? -ne 0 ] && break
/usr/bin/sleep 1
done
HTH
P.S.
