If the UUID changes, then of course. That makes sense on why you went with by-path. The system should always have something in those paths, which makes for a much simpler config and administration.
Very odd it works on another system and not this particular one. I agree, must be the gremlins. -Donald -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Marcy Cortes Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2016 12:20 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: vdisk swap in sles 12 But they will change when we move things around (replication/recovery). Oddly, i did all the same steps on another server and it worked just fine. Gremlins I'm thinking. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Harris, Donald (ITD) Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2016 11:47 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] vdisk swap in sles 12 You mentioned that you had this: /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.ff00-part1 swap swap pri=4 0 0 /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.ff01-part1 swap swap pri=3 0 0 /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.ff02-part1 swap swap pri=2 0 0 /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.ff03-part1 swap swap pri=1 0 0 In your FSTAB. Maybe use UUID's instead of /dev/disk/by-path? I have had some strange issues with disks being named other things/mounted somewhere unexpected, so on and so forth, but by using UUID, it doesn't matter how/when the disk is brought online, it will mount it in the correct spot, always. -Donald -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Marcy Cortes Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2016 11:26 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: vdisk swap in sles 12 I don't have a cio_ignore anywhere.

What happens if you remove the cio_ignore parameter from the kernel parms, re-run mkinitrd and reboot?
