systemd-readahead does not work if you have a swapfile instead of swap partition.



hash entry in the /etc/fstab temporarily solved the problem. After

no new lines are appended. ( cat /.readahead | wc -l ).

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Not a systemd bug, and the posted patch is likely incorrect.

Thanks a lot. I hope this will be fixed. If not, I will try to patch itself
