No, it wouldn't. What I meant was run 'swapon -a' after the reboot. Some people run their phones for months between reboots, things can happen during that time. If not, then sorry, I'll just shut up.

I had flopswap working perfectly before the reflash and simply re-used those 2 swap partitions on the sd card. Using swapoff etc gets flopswap happily doing its job, so nothing fundamental is wrong with the partitions.

Have you changed any versions of CSSU, Kernel-Power?
Have you installed any other swap management like ereswap or compcache, swapset?
Have you installed bb-power?
Do you have swap to uSD on boot option enabled?
Are you using the latest version of FlopSwap?

I will try and find time to reproduce if I can.

Edit:-
Tested on a fresh install of CSSU-T7.2+thumb1 with KP52. No issues here.

No, other than that recent update.

Damn-you! :-)

OK. Here's the thing:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# cat /etc/fstab 
# This file was generated by script /etc/event.d/rcS-late
# !!! Do not edit this file. It will be overwritten in next device startup !!!
# If you want static /etc/fstab add genfstab="0" to file /etc/default/mount-opts-overwrite
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
ubi0:rootfs / ubifs rw,bulk_read,no_chk_data_crc 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/home/opt /opt none bind 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs vfat defaults 0 2
/dev/mmcblk1p2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/mmcblk1p3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 0

How the blue-blazes did THAT come about? Surely it should be just "/dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 0" and flopswap does it's business thereafter?

And pichlo, chirp-on dear fella, chirp-on....

I am thinking you have updated to the latest Testing version 8.2 but still have thumb installed.

I have yet to test the latest CSSU-T, there have been changes to upstart, so maybe there's an issue there.

I will try and look into how to reproduce when I get time.

Cleaver?

Flop because it sounds better than flip. See flip-flop or flip-flop.

If so it is quite unwitting. How would one hybridise thumb? I only have cssu-testing and thumb repos enabled in HAM (and not in FAM).

Looking at "/etc/event.d/rcS-late", which generates "/etc/fastab" I see

Code:

swaps=`blkid -c /dev/null -o device -t TYPE=swap`

(and that derives:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# blkid -c /dev/null -o device -t TYPE=swap
/dev/mmcblk1p2
/dev/mmcblk1p3
/dev/mmcblk0p3

)

When /etc/event.d/rcS-late generates fstab, the following applies:

Code:

 # swap
      for dev in $swaps; do
        echo "$dev none swap sw 0 0" >> $tmp_fstab
      done

this seems to explain where my n900 is at. Or does it?

I'm on "hybrid" CSSU too (thumb, then upgraded to latest testing). What do I need to run in xterm so we can compare outputs?

Just yesterday I managed to get two swap locations when pressing "show current" then an error like swap failed(?) when checking the status. This happened after pressing fresh swap consecutively. I just did a reboot and everything's fine again.

OK ... so I have finally got round to testing this.

I have updated ALL packages to the latest version on the repos.

This was a 'Tmaemo7.2+thumb1' now 'Tmaemo8.2' also all the updates from CSSU-Devel. So what I am calling a 'Hybrid CSSU-Thumb' setup.

I have rebooted four or five times and cannot reproduce the issue so I am not certain how you are having issues. I have asked on #maemo-ssu. If I can find/reproduce a bug I will try to fix it.
