[arch-general] swap not always enabled?
normally conky tells me that i'm using 0% swap. just now i noticed it showing, "no swap%," which looked strange. issuing "swapon -a" as root changed the display back to "0%." now i'm wondering if i missed something, systemd changes perhaps, that swap doesn't get switched on unless it's needed, or if something went wrong on my machine. didn't notice any unmerged .pacnew files, but will check again... -- phani.

I've noticed that too after upgrade to systemd 207. I wouldn't notice it if VMware player didn't complain that I have no swap.

Anything interesting in the logs?

nothing a quick glance revealed. but on G+ i learned it's a known bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69291 in the meantime, "swapon -a" isn't too much trouble... -- phani.
This is a systemd bug (caused by me), the fix is: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=90060fa6605446bef7078... On Sat, Sep 14, 2013 at 8:16 PM, phanisvara <listmail@phanisvara.com> wrote:

i'm afraid for me, up-to-date arch w. [testing], the patch doesn't fix it either. reporting to freedesktop, but the OP over there said that already. -- phani.
