It seems udev start job won't start if there is something wrong with swap.
I have run in to this several times now. Something corrupts the swap (probably a bug in Apache web-server or PHP) - system slows down and debian udev wont start properly on next reboot.
I have to manually comment out the swap UUID from fstab in recovery mode - reboot and create a new swap - then do swapon to use that until I have fixed the old one.
Any idea what is going on?
Why does the swap get corrupted every couple of months?
Why can't udev handle swap corruption?
If you are a noob this is basically a deal-braker.

udev start job won't start & swap
Re: udev start job won't start & swap
Someone might be able to answer the questions, but you didn't include what debian version, kernel, swap configuration, Apache ver or any other information, like the actual error message you are seeing?
Sam, comeon work with us here. Describing yourself as a noob is strange when you been on here since 2012? What's the deal?SamTzu wrote: If you are a noob this is basically a deal-braker.

Systemd is just not reliable, period.
I don't know if fixing it individually is not more work then fixing it manually every few months.
Maybe you can set swap to "nofail" so at least your system will boot and write a startup script that will swapon the swap and if it fails, redo "mkswap".
Also, if you use an encrypted swap (I mean directly encrypted on its own) one of the benefits is that your swap will be recreated every time.

for now we only have your word that swap actually is corrupt.
please do some troubleshooting, some searching, and come back with real commands & output, and a better problem description altogether.
i also wouldn't rule out the possibility that udev can be told to behave differently in these situations.
fwiw, i dropped apache for nginx on my small server because it's overkill.
you should probably investigate that.SamTzu wrote:Something corrupts the swap (probably a bug in Apache web-server or PHP) -
