https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=256535 Bug ID: 256535 Summary: swapon nukes non FreeBSD swap file systems Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bz@FreeBSD.org Hi, if one repurposes a FreeBSD swap file system for another file system (e.g. 2nd system) or mistyypes the partition in fstab and FreeBSD boots with that swap in fstab, swapon -a will nuke that file system even if it is no longer a freebsd-swap in GPT (no idea about MBR anymore). It seems to be a good idea to put in a check, warn and let the user fix this rather than simply activating swap and with that likely nuking a file system there.. It's probably a bit tricky to find all the cases but it should be fairly easy to test in a VM so.. #BeginnersTask -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
