[Bug 1195504] Re: Add a noswap option to avoid accessing drives - w/ PATCH

[Lucas Magasweran]

Hi casper developers, please consider implementing this patch. It is
needed for an Ubuntu live environment with some disk drive recovery
tools that can be run from a live environment to avoid having to check
the for an active swap partition on the disk that is being tested.

Thanks.

Title:
  Add a noswap option to avoid accessing drives - w/ PATCH

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I would like to propose the attached patch that adds a "noswap" Kernel
  parameter that disables casper's automatic discovery and activation of
  any present swap partitions. The purpose is to not have the drives and
  drivers in use so that they can be accessed or unloaded without issue.
