swap partition doesn't unmount on reboot

[PsySc0rpi0n]

Hello.

Lately, when I reboot my laptop, I find myself in this situation:

And after more than 15 minutes or so I have this:

I have the following in /proc/swaps

Code: Select all

$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/sda5                               partition       5105660 0       -2

This UUID is in my /etc/fstab, so I don't know why this is happening.

First make the journal persistent:

Code: Select all

# mkdir -p /var/log/journal

Then reboot and see what it says about the problem:

Code: Select all

# journalctl -b -1

Remember to remove /var/log/journal when you've fixed things, it can delay the boot significantly if it gets too large.

Ok, I've created the folder and will check its contents next time I reboot. Not sure if I'm going to reboot it today again.

You can try pressing <ctrl>+<alt>+<delete> more than 7 times in 2 seconds to force an immediate reboot. Doesn't always work though... *shakes fist at systemd*

I tried to press that key combination when I reboot earlier today but I think I didn't make 7 in less than 2 seconds. What I think happened is that the process of trying to unmount the swap partition just restarted.

One can limit its size in /etc/systemd/journal.conf. I have it set at "SystemMaxUse=50M". It's also possible to limit systemd timeout somewhere, I think I changed mine to 20s.

No idea why your swap is not unmounting though. Have you changed anything in your system recently that may have initiated this?

Maybe this will help - https://www.freedesktop.org/software/sy ... .swap.html

I don't remember to have changed anything lately.

I'll take a look at that link in the meantime!
