Bug#582223: partman - Wants to overwrite swap partition/lv

2010-05-19 Thread Bastian Blank
Package: partman-basicfilesystems
Version: 63
Severity: serious

partman wants to overwrite the swap partitions on a already setup
machine. As swap partition can contain hibernation data, this is an
data-destroying operation.

Doing any system install while the system is in hibernation is asking for 
trouble and IMO is simply user error. I don't think we need to support 
that case.

See also the warning at the top of:
