Public bug reported:
on my computer there is more than one Linux distribution; all used to
access the same swap partition (say /dev/sda3)
now more and more distributions address partitions by uuid
BUT: formating the swap partition changes the uuid!
example:
- distribution 1 uses swap partition with uuid=1234
- now I install ubuntu, which reformats the swap partition; not it has
uuid=5678;
- all works fine for the new ubuntu installation, but my previous distrib. 1
cannot anymore access the swap partition!
for this reason: don't touch existing swap partitions, if they are
already formated
** Affects: Ubuntu
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
