Details
Description:
Because the chunk generation is triggered by the swap falling below 15% (or whatever is configured in the config), a system with no other swap will always have 0% full, so the first chunks is never created. I worked around this by simply creating a small swap file (~10M), which is trivial from a swapping standpoint, but that way when it is <15% empty, the first chunk is generated. You could easily add a similar function to systemd-swap, to allocate a 10M swapfile, further, it could be a simple config option so folks with an actual swap partition could skip it. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: Use any system with no swap. |

Reason for closing: Upstream
Additional comments about closing: As felixonmars pointed out, this behavior should be fixed upstream, if anywhere.

Did you report this to the upstream developer? I assume this is
not a packaging fault...
