'Twas brillig, and Shlomi Fish at 11/08/12 10:06 did gyre and gimble: > Hi all, > > I'm using Mageia Linux 3/Cauldron and have this in my dracut configuration: The add_device stuff is a Mageia specific patch added rather late in the development cycle. I did discuss the reasons for it (to act as a system to enable LVM/RAID for swap partitions) with Harald and we came up with a better suggestion but due to the timing I didn't have time to implement it. Anyway, this question isn't really relevant for upstream but I'll try anyway. > <<< > [root@telaviv1 ~]# cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/51-mageia-resume.conf > add_device+="LABEL=sf_unix_swap" > [root@telaviv1 ~]# >>>> > > Now, at startup, I am getting (after waiting for several seconds) a > message such as "Cannot resume from device" or > "resume device not found" and then it boots normally.

Again, this is all a Mageia patch for now, which likely won't go upstream (unless anyone else has a need for such behaviour?).
