[Bug 1410824] Re: Swap space with mounts module not working

[trialotto]

@Scott,

By the way, the release 0.7.6 is ready for packaging, if I am not
mistaken.

Note that the package above AND the 0.7.7 version can be used in Azure
Linux VMs with Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (Trusty).

Performance seems to be improving on the Trusty machines, if using the
latest packages.

Also note that upgrading the package in a running VM (Trusty) with
CustomData containing a fixed swap size, will result in a swap with that
fixed size after a shut-down and start sequence (even if a previous
version, such as 0.7.5, did not create swap at all).

The above should imply that on Azure, the custom data option and/or a
datasource can be used to fix swap size at start or restart.

An advantage thereof is that the implementation of a swap size of zero
or another minimum amount, with the possibility to grow the swap size
automatically, in specific circumstances.

These circumstances could or should be:

- changing the VM size (is probably tackled by the cloud-init versions 0.7.6 and 0.7.7)
- changing swap size manually (in a running VM)
- changing swap size in waagent.conf (if relevant and/or desired)

Kind regards......

PS Please introduce the 0.7.6 in Trusty, that would be a partion
solution to many problems encountered for users of Trusty VMs.
