I have one swap partition.Why system auto create a failed swap.Maybe I updated to profile 17,have this error.
This is the error log message.
Code:
sudo journalctl -a | grep -m1 -i 'failed deactiv'
Jan 27 16:39:14 xxxxx.xxxx systemd[1]: Failed deactivating swap /dev/disk/by-partlabel/Basic\x20data\x20partition.


This is my swap partition
Code:
sudo swapon -s                           
Filename            Type      Size   Used   Priority
/dev/sdb2                                 partition   4194300   0   -1


This is the swap that systemd create,it's my NTFS partition.
Code:
ll /dev/disk/by-partlabel/Basic\\x20data\\x20partition
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Apr 21 16:26 '/dev/disk/by-partlabel/Basic\x20data\x20partition' -> ../../sdb6


Swap looks OK,when use free command.
Code:
free
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:        8084420      907556     6519376       76504      657488     6681156
Swap:       4194300           0     4194300


How can I fix it?
Thanks a lot.

If the swap was generated by the systemd-gpt-auto-generator you can disable the generator with:
Code:
ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/system-generators/systemd-gpt-auto-generator

I don't have systemd-gpt-auto-generator file and systemd-fstab-generator command.
Thanks a lot!

Those generators are no ordinary commands but are run automatically by systemd if you do not disable them as shown.

I guess your /dev/sdb6 partition has either the wrong partition type (Check with gdisk, parted, fdisk or whatever tool you prefer), or is listed in your /etc/fstab as a swap partition.
