Disable automatic use and forceful format of existing swaps
- Disable automatic use of existing swaps in manual partitioning
Automatic use of existing swaps has tricked many users in multi-boot installations because re-used swaps are formatted with a new UUID. This often disrupts the other operating systems which use them. It is easier and faster to enable the one swap you want to re-use than to disable all the other swaps.
- Enable choice to format or keep re-used existing swaps
It is not necessary and may be undesirable to format re-used existing swaps in some use cases (e.g. multiboot setup with shared swap). Most of the code to manage choice is already present but disabled. Tweak the code so that choice is available if the partition is already formatted as swap.
- Do not format re-used existing swaps by default
It is not necessary and may be undesirable to format re-used existing swaps in some use cases (e.g. multiboot setup with shared swap). Do not format by default if the partition is already formatted as swap.
