Public bug reported:

devmapper appears to have doubled my available swap space from ~1.5 GB
to ~3.0 GB, as shown by `free -m`:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1003        987         15          0          6        624
-/+ buffers/cache:        357        645
Swap:         3153         25       3128

However, `swapon -s` reports the following:

Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/hda5                               partition       1614492 25796   -1
/dev/mapper/hda5                        partition       1614492 0       -2

It appears therefore that devmapper is doubling my swap without looking
at the previous swap setup in /etc/fstab , hence causing Linux to think
that there's more swap than it seems.
