[Bug 839118] [NEW] swap not mounted with mountall unless listed last in /etc/fstab

[Brian Vaughan]

Public bug reported:

A swap partition is not mounted on boot, and is not mounted with
mountall, despite being listed in /etc/fstab, unless the line describing
the swap partition is the last line in /etc/fstab. This can be seen by
executing 'mountall -v' with the line describing the swap partition at
any other point in /etc/fstab: the last line of output will appear
similar to 'local 4/4 remote 0/0 virtual 12/12 swap 0/0'.

There is a description of the bug, and the workaround:
