linuxcnc 2.7.14 swap file problem with Clonezilla

Upon have a good working system with good boot time, I have used Clonezilla to image the drive but when restoring the image back to the drive and then booting into linuxcnc it seems to indicate a problem that is taking about 1min-50secs delay to resolve before continuing with the boot. It does boot successfully and works ok.

With my little knowledge of linux I think it is the swap file that has not been imaged and restored correctly.
looking at the drive with Gparted I had to format the sda5 partition with linux-file system but I am at a loss at how to activate it
to get rid of the error when booting.

Why a 40GB swap ?
A swap partition does not have a file system, as such on it, as on it.

Read this regarding size of swap files:
itsfoss.com/swap-size/

The problem is with the swap partition uuid.

This page is how to fix the issue, the last 2 answers are what you want, starting with "From Terminal run" both of the last 2 answers need reading and acting on.

Basically put in the new UUID of the swap partition in /etc/fstab
Comment out or put in the new UUID of the swap partition in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
Update the initramfs with:Reboot and all should be good.

Thank you for the rapid reply. I inadvertently attached the wrong pic but have now corrected the pic.

Please see new pic.
Re the partition I did change the sda5 with gparted to add a file system. Was this incorrect? or is it ok.

I will attempt to do as you suggested and report back (might have to be in a couple of days)

No problems I ran into this problem when using clonezilla myself and had to search a bit for an answer.
This is an issue that can happen on Ubuntu & Linux Mint systems.
If that is the correct picture of gparted, sda5 is correct as it is.

if you run (the switch/letter is a lowercase L)and you get a line such as this for sda5 (the example below is a snippet from my desktop)
What you are interested in is the last 2 columns where:
Id should be 82
Type should be Linux swap / Solaris

To make sure everything is ok, before modifying the 2 files, you can use
To check the status if you want to confirm that things are ok after using the above or after modifying the files mentioned and rebotooing you can use
Hopefully that should see you right. Always happy to help when I can.

Ok I now have this. Easer to read in the attached print.txt but the 2-3 boot time is the same. What am I missing?

Sorry mate my FU due to typo in my fist post

Yeah you can still use /dev/sdxN in fstab.

pinched from unix.stackexchange.com/questions/137862/...ual-file-system-name

The advantage of using the UUID is that it is independent from the actual device number the operating system gives your hard disk. Image you add another hard disk to the system, and for some reason the OS decides that your old disk is now sdb instead of sba. Your boot process would be screwed up if fstab would point to the device name. However, in case of the UUIDs, it would be fine.

Thanks
If I comment out the uuid from /dev/fstab Then the machine boots up as expected.

Then I found a typo in the UUID="71cf9f99-7de4-418a-805e-67d5ed7435fd

Now it works as expected:)


But this is the result from your last post
clive@debian:~/Desktop$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

Did you find out what was going wrong with Zonezilla?

I use this to make various images of drives and put them on USB sticks with Etcher to make them bootable .
