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.
** Affects: devmapper (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
