    SubjectRe: [PATCH] [14/48] Suspend2 2.1.9.8 for 2.6.12: 404-check-mounts-support.patch
    From
    Date
    Hi.

    Sorry.

    It's not really a bug in the swapoff code. Rather, clearing this field
    allows simple identification of the devices being used for swap (for
    flushing writes).

    Regards,

    Nigel

    Evolution.
    Enumerate the requirements.
    Consider the interdependencies.
    Calculate the probabilities.
    Be amazed that people believe it happened.
