[Bug 709363] Re: swap partition disappeared during installation

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package partman-basicfilesystems - 71ubuntu2

---------------
partman-basicfilesystems (71ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low

  * Stop using libparted to format swap partitions.  parted 3.0 doesn't
    support this anyway, and I'm guessing that this may be the cause of
    blkid sometimes not recognising the swap partition during installation
    (LP: #709363).

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I noticed that I had no swap mounted, looked in /etc/fstab and see a
  swap partition but it isn't usable because the partition has no UUID.
  Reading /var/log/installer/syslog the partition was used at one point
  in time but then stopped being used.
