Fails with "Not enough swap space for hibernation" about amazon-ec2-hibinit-agent HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello @maresb thanks for reporting the issue!

We are tracking it downstream in Ubuntu at LP#1968805, and I hope to get this fixed up soon.

I made a new patch using your same idea, just changing the priority to the maximum 32767, which is more robust to priorities users could be using out in the wild.

Thanks,
Matthew

Does /swapfile have enough space? Trying to understand the issue better, were these two files created by this agent?

from amazon-ec2-hibinit-agent.

I created /swapfile and the agent created /swap-hibinit. (Ubuntu patches hibinit-agent to rename /swap to /swap-hibinit.) If I remember correctly, hibernation ignores everything but the swapfile with highest priority (in this case my /swap, which is indeed big enough). I think it fails because /swap-hibinit is registered with grub. When it tries to hibernate, it notices the mismatch and fails.

Increasing the priority solves the problem. (See my PR.)

Thanks so much @matthewruffell for moving this forward!!! I like your patch and I marked the linked issues as "this bug affects me"

Thanks for reporting and putting together a patch - the engineering team in EC2 that maintains the agent is aware of the patch and are prioritizing testing it. I'll ask them to give you an ETA when they have one.
