Swap on LVM - swapoff problem
Hi all,
I am swapping on lvm devices and aving a strange problem with swapoff.
I have the swap device configured in /etc/fstab, the relevant line is:
/dev/vg1/swap none swap sw 0 0
swap seems to work OK but I have a strange problem with swapoff:
# swapoff /dev/vg1 swapoff: /dev/vg1: Invalid argument
If I comment out the swap line in /etc/fstab and start the swap manually with swapon after system boot, then swapoff and swapon seem to work as expected.
OS: Debian 3.0r1 "woody"
Kernel: 2.4.18, 2.4.18 patched with VFS lock patch, and 2.4.20 patched with VFS lock patch (problem is the same on various machines running all these kernels).
The problem occurs in the same way on LVM swap devices built on disk partition physical volumes, and also on software-RAID physical volumes.
Any ideas?

swapoff /dev/vg1/swap
might be a better command to use :-)
