What are these messages reporting? Free shows I have swap space. Of
course with 4Gb memory, I have not done enough on the system to get it
to try and use swap space.
Is the disk GPT-formatted? I think there's some kind of known bug where
some code that auto-detects swap partitions on GPT disks can cause swap
activation/de-activation operations to run twice, which causes error
messages but no real functional problems.
Yes, GPT.
It was a blank drive that I selected 'standard' paritioning during the
install, and then adjusted the partition sizes. I made / smaller and
enlarged swap and /home. But the GPT was already selected as the format
type.
It does read a bit like:
