This is on 14. I thought of corruption too.
there, i had swap device with size i didn't add, but size was as if size of
some other partition on some other device
this 3rd nonfunctional device was seemingly never used nor did i experience any
visible data corruption anywhere. using zfs
problem seemed to appear after some sata devices went off bus and quickly
reappeared
i don't know how to test this. seems like this needs fuzzing but don't know if
vm would be enough
back then, everybody said that kernel doesn't allow it. yet it somehow did
i think i even have some swapinfo outputs saved. which i was told to be impossible.
"never seen anything like this"
maybe this time this could be fixed?
I rebooted because I thought better safe than sorry. The system had no
available storage to swap on. And before this "device" there was another
partition showed by swapinfo. That partition was part of a zpool, not
really a device available to swap on. After exporting and importing
that pool, that weird named appeared.

Hi,
Just noticed that swapinfo reports this:
root@aurora:~ # swapinfo
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/#C:0x101 10485760 0 10485760 0%
root@aurora:~ #
I am not sure what happened. I might have added some temporary
swap at some point. It cannot be removed. Any thoughts?
