Now we're getting somewhere. The problem I discovered is that if I do this:
1) Remove fstab entry for swap file and reboot
2) Reinstall fstab entry for swap and swapon
Voila' - it works. BUT ... if I then swapoff that disk *the md device does
not go away and cannot be removed with mdcoswapon -a
swapon: md99 on /usr/swap0: Device already in use
nfig:
mdconfig -d md99
mdconfig: file can only be used with -a
I also cannot reenable it as swap again (which is why this appeared to not
be working:
swapon -a
swapon: md99 on /usr/swap0: Device already in use
IOW, the system thinks the /dev/md99 is still in use even though I have swapped
it
off and will neither automatically remove the device nor allow me to do so
manually.
Ideas anyone? (And that for all the help from you folks...)
