Heads-Up: swap doesn't mount at boot starting with nightly bits 12/14

Subject: Heads-Up: swap doesn't mount at boot starting with nightly bits 12/14

Hi All,

My putback on 12/13 of 6354408 libdiskmgt needs to handle sysevent 
failures in miniroot or failsafe environments better, has uncovered a 
bug in the boot process where adding swap devices during boot fails. As 
a result, after BFU'ing or upgrading to these bits,  swap devices will 
*not* be mounted at boot time.

A bug has been filed, */6363824 The boot process, specifically adding 
swap devices/, /should not do device in use checking*/, to track this issue.

To get around this bug you *must* manually add the swap devices after 
boot, setting the NOINUSE_CHECK=1 flag in your environment prior to 
issuing the "swap -a" command. Setting this flag will override the 
device in use checking in your environment. You will not have swap 
configured on your system if you do not manually add it.

A fix is in the works for 6363824.

Thank you,
sarah
