[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1788321] Re: swapon failed: invalid argument
Good News! This bug is still here. Same error on Dell Inspiron 13-7353, Ubuntu 20.04.1 (Upgraded from 18.05.5), Kernel: Linux NOMIS-inspiron 5.4.0-47-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 4 19:50:52 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Filesystem btrfs, Storage: Samsung 650 SSD (1TB). Was working properly on 18.04, and 20.04.1 on earlier kernels. I did not try late kernels. It seems like I have the worst combination of configuration but innocently walked into this . I reduced vm.swapiness to ZERO. in the hope I will encouner fewer crashes. Please advise.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1788321] Re: swapon failed: invalid argument
Fixed my problem. While looking through /var/log/syslog, I noticed this line around the same time swap mount failed. BTRFS warning (device sda3): swapfile must not be copy-on-write Then a few lines later... systemd[1]: swap.img.swap: Failed with result 'exit-code'. systemd[1]: Failed to activate swap /swap.img. systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Swap. systemd[1]: swap.target: Job swap.target/start failed with result 'dependency'. Yes my root is on btrfs and I did not see this error before. So I deleted /swap.img and started over. $ sudo rm -rf /swap.img $ sudo touch /swap.img $ sudo chattr +C /swap.img $ sudo fallocate -l 2G /swap.img $ sudo chmod 600 /swap.img $ sudo mkswap /swap.img $ sudo swapon /swap.img No error and "swapon --show" gives this: NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO /swap.img file 2G 0B -2 Just what I was expecting. So problem solved for me, maybe a check can be put in to see if it's on btrfs and apply the 'chattr +C' option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788321 Title: swapon failed: invalid argument Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Environment: - Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS - Linux 4.15.0-32-generic i686 Description: When I try to mount my swap partition or my swap file, I get "swapon failed: invalid argument" .

Sequence is identical to other, native/amd64 system with same kernel

Title:
swapon failed: invalid argument
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Environment:
- Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
- Linux 4.15.0-32-generic i686
Description:
When I try to mount my swap partition or my swap file, I get "swapon failed:
invalid argument" .
Steps to reproduce:
1) sudo bash
2) dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=524288
3) mkswap /swapfile
4) chown root:root /swapfile
5) chmod 0600 /swapfile
6) swapon /swapfile
Last execution returns "swapon failed: invalid argument" .
I'm almost sure it's a bug because I have no problems using Linux
4.15.0-29-generic instead of Linux 4.15.0-32-generic. Also, no
problems using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Live CD.
