Why is swap enabled so early in the boot process?
If you are using LFS on a raspberry pi you must do the following:
mv /etc/rc.d/rcS.d/S20swap /etc/rc.d/rcS.d/S60swap
otherwise the system comes up with no swap.
After making the change swap will come up upon boot.
Doing 'mount -a' after the system comes up will result in swap working
I don't see where it would affect other platforms as I have LFS
running on x86_64, i386 and raspberry pi {1,2,3} ( soon to be pi4).
Historically you would want to mount swap before you mount /
read-write. In today's environment, you probably don't need swap at all.
What type of error do you get when trying to mount swap on the rpi?
That said, you may have a timing issue with the HW, but I'm just
guessing.
The swap doesn't come up, I am using a swapfile so I believe that root
will need to be mounted rw before swap can be enabled.
Hmm. I've never run across anyone using a swapfile for the primary swap
before. Your solution seems to be good for your rare configuration.
You could also create something like S99local to run 'swapon -a'.
