Hi,
I noticed that *Example 12.2* in section 12.12 of the handbook
<https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/adding-swap-space.html> does not work
verbatim.
I believe this is due to commit r255265:
Enable "late" option when a file= option is specified in /etc/fstab.
The file= option requires rw mount where the backing store exists but
it does not work because rc.d/swap runs before rc.d/fsck.
Reported by: wblock
A possible fix would be to change:
swapon -aq
to
swapon -aLq
This ensures swap is enabled even when the "late" option is specified.
Thanks,
Ross
