FWIW, here's mine:

Code:

# blkid -c /dev/null -o device -t TYPE=swap
/dev/mmcblk1p2
/dev/mmcblk0p3

No, I am not using FlopSwap. But I have fiddled with my /etc/event.d/rcS-late to get striped swap. (Currently evaluating but convinced more and more that it degrades performance rather than increases.)

Your situation looks exactly like the result of my fiddling.

@sixwheeledbest: does your /etc/fstab reflect all 3 swap locations? It should if I read /etc/event.d/rcS-late correctly.

So what determines the swap enabled at bootup? I thought it was fstab. Can you clarify please.

@pichlo: I am aware of striping but have never tried it. Thanks for info.

Here's my full output from my latest Tmaemo8.2 to compare.
I have never modified any of these settings and it is a clean device with only leafpad and flopswap installed.

Mine has all 3 swaps and that clearly is the problem.... why does /etc/event.d/rcS-late generate 3 swaps in fstab for me and not for you? /etc/event.d/rcS-late on my device is the same as yours.

Sorry to bug-on: what does

Code:

/etc/defaults/mount-opts

contain? I have just found a /etc/default/mount-opts.dpkg-dist with extended options. Did not install for some reason. It has an option

Code:

# When generating fstab add also swap partitions from SD card (if exists)
swap_sd="0"

that appears relevant.

Bingo! Yours is the extended version that was not installed on my device, for reasons not clear to me. In a rush, but will test and report back but I believe we have the culprit.....

Issue with multiple sd-based swaps being active after boot-up is solved.

/etc/default/mount-opts must be the one posted by sixwheeledbeast and NOT the rather simple default one (i.e. it should be one installed by CSSU-T).

It appears that there is at least one scenario, following a reflash and installation of CSSU-testing with an in-situ sd-card with 2 swap partitions, where a replacement mount-ops does not get installed. In such a case, /etc/event.d/rcS-late will generate 3 swaps in fstab and all can be made active (mounted). If flopswap is installed, with "swap to sd" enabled then the 2 sd-card swaps will show as active.

Thanks to "swb" for sticking with me.... (and for info added here)

No problem. I am glad we got there finally.
This maybe a bug in CSSU-T, mount-ops should have got installed with CSSU-T.
I would like to know if anybody else has this issue. Obviously I would like to keep FlopSwap compatible with all Flavours of CSSU.
