Subject: bug#50788: Swapfile on Btrfs does not start at boot
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2021 21:14:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <TbQsNMzraZIGit6atyA0OzZlPwfsAZD8xpzM2LjZMnWEvV_d7Zs5OPpmUPiTl19KiOQvmw6Y6-eg8QHdOsxLOf6siP-wVjZAB-h2KzyBWiQ=@protonmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
This has been discussed a few times on #guix, with some having success, but mostly it seems not. The issue is having a swapfile (maybe also for partition?) on Btrfs and swap not being activated on boot. In my case, I can manually start with `sudo herd start swap-/swap/swapfile` and it will work fine. There might be an issue with when different filesystems are loaded with Btrfs subvolumes? I have my swap as a file on a subvolume.
From syslog, just before and after the only "swap" related message:
Sep 23 13:09:31 localhost vmunix: [ 9.424364] shepherd[1]: Service udev has been started.
Sep 23 13:09:31 localhost vmunix: [ 9.424466] Unable to find swap-space signature
Sep 23 13:09:31 localhost vmunix: [ 9.424912] shepherd[1]: Service user-file-systems has been started.
Sep 23 13:09:31 localhost vmunix: [ 9.443245] shepherd[1]: Service file-system-/swap has been started.
Sep 23 13:09:31 localhost vmunix: [ 9.454002] shepherd[1]: Service file-system-/var/log has been started.
Sep 23 13:09:31 localhost vmunix: [ 9.464911] shepherd[1]: Service file-system-/home has been started.
Checking the status of the service shows:
It is stopped.
It is enabled.
Provides (swap-/swap/swapfile).
Requires (udev).
Conflicts with ().
Will not be respawned.
This is the file-systems and swap part of my system configuration:
(file-systems (append
(list (file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=root,compress=lzo,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/swap")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=swap,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/gnu/store")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=gnu-store,compress=lzo,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/var/log")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=var-log,compress=lzo,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/home")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=home,compress=lzo,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (uuid "5989-F926" 'fat))
(mount-point "/boot/efi")
(type "vfat")))
%base-file-systems))
(swap-devices (list "/swap/swapfile"))
Hope this is helpful in tracking down what is happening, I know I'm not alone in this issue.
John
