Hi,
 
We're deploying our nodes using pre-exec scriptlets, in which we do our own 
partitioning.
In this scriptlets, we have things like that :
 
1-      Create swap paritions
2-      "mkswap those partitions"
 
The issue is the following : until now, everything was working fine.
With SL5.8, at reboot, our nodes only have 2GB of swap enabled per swap 
partition.
 
If we do:
 
-          swapoff partition
-          mkswap partition
-          swapon partition
 
Then the swap size appears to be what it should be (up to 128GB depending on 
the node, so 2GB clearly is a not a good thing for us).
 
Off course, we could work around this using several methods, but that would be 
work arounds only.
I tried installing a node using anaconda's partitioning and no pre-exec scripts 
: then the swap is correctly defined/used.
 
Finally, I noted that on the failing systems (pre-exec partitioning), the 
partition type is 83 (linux), while on the anaconda-made
swap, partition type is 8e (Linux swap / Solaris)
 
Bug or not a bug ?
 
Thanks
