Description: genfstab creates invalid fstab swap priority


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
From a recent install, genfstab creates a swap entry in /etc/fstab with "defaults,pri=-2"

This then creates the following journal entries...
Failed to parse swap priority "defaults,pri=-2", ignoring: Numerical result out of range

"man swapon" states "priority is a value between -1 and 32767" and also "When no priority is defined, it defaults to -1".

Interestingly with no priority set, "cat /proc/swaps" shows "Priority=-2" which doesn't really match the above.

Perhaps remove the "pri=" from genfstab as swap priority usage is clearly explained at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Swap#Priority ?

Regards
Paul.
