[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#552029: initscripts: checkfs.sh fsck fails because lvm (and md?) swap is not on

[Karl O. Pinc]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

I've a system where fsck fails at boot because swap
is on lvm and fsck runs out of RAM.  Consequently,
after an fs fsck limit is reached the system won't boot.

Please have checkfs.sh run swapon again before fsck to pick up
lvm (and md?) swap.

A 100% untested patch (against sid as of this date) is attached.

To apply:
  cd sysvinit-2.87
  patch < fsck.patch

Thank you.
