Getting the same error on old bare metal: 4.15.0-88-generic #88-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 11 20:11:34 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can run gparted, hit "swapon" on the right-click menu for the swap partition, and it mounts. I don't have this problem on other harware/VMs with same build & procedures. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788321 Title: swapon failed: invalid argument Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Environment: - Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS - Linux 4.15.0-32-generic i686 Description: When I try to mount my swap partition or my swap file, I get "swapon failed: invalid argument" . Steps to reproduce: 1) sudo bash 2) dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=524288 3) mkswap /swapfile 4) chown root:root /swapfile 5) chmod 0600 /swapfile 6) swapon /swapfile Last execution returns "swapon failed: invalid argument" .
