Swap partition not mounted on boot

  • 772

I'm having issues with a fresh SLES12 install and swap not mounting. It's a DL360 G6 server with P410 and 2x 146GB drives in RAID1. The single /dev/sda has MBR with sda1 for swap and sda2 for ext4 root partition.

systemd 210-95.1

Basically i'm not getting swap mounted on startup and only a manual swapon helps.

I know there were issues with swap not working in systemd when GPT is used, but i'm clueless here...

    After upgrading to SLES12 SP1 there are no issues. I didn't really bother to investigate which fix was responsible tho.
