[Yaird-devel] Bug#422412: yaird: swap is not accessible if not on the same disk as /

[Cyril Bouthors]

Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-20
Severity: normal

Yaird is not able to provide the module required to acces my swap
partitions!

Here's my following config :

/etc/fstab:
/dev/hda3    /                 xfs     rw        0    1
/dev/sda2    none              swap    rw        0    0

The modules required to access the swap (/dev/sda):
 - ahci
 - ata_piix
 - sd_mod
 - their deps

The modules added by mkinitrd.yaird:

root at sqlb4:~# zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-686.00 |cpio -t | grep ko$
5224 blocks
lib/modules/2.6.16-2-686/kernel/drivers/ide/pci/generic.ko
lib/modules/2.6.16-2-686/kernel/drivers/ide/pci/piix.ko
lib/modules/2.6.16-2-686/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.ko
lib/modules/2.6.16-2-686/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko
lib/modules/2.6.16-2-686/kernel/drivers/input/evdev.ko
lib/modules/2.6.16-2-686/kernel/drivers/input/mousedev.ko
lib/modules/2.6.16-2-686/kernel/fs/exportfs/exportfs.ko
lib/modules/2.6.16-2-686/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
root at sqlb4:~#

I can access /dev/hda but not /dev/sda

The swap is not defined:

root at sqlb4:~# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1028592     709256     319336          0        208     571036
-/+ buffers/cache:     138012     890580
Swap:            0          0          0

I have to manually add it after each boot!

I think Yaird MUST check the swap partition and load the required
modules in order for the swap to work.

I hope this will be fixed soon.

Thanks.
