HAOS start job for swap job running forever

Briandr73 · April 1, 2025, 10:37pm

Getting a message about HAOS swap job running. This from cold restart. Taking over 3 mins. Before that it was practically instantaneous. Started seeing this recently. Any ideas where to look as I am not quite sure where to look to see what is going on.

HA OS 15.1, Core 2025.3.4

What message?

Exactly. Copy and paste.

Before what?

What did you change?

sorry to be vague, but message was a start job is running for HAOS swap file. Only thing changed was updates for the OS and Core. Beyond that I made no changes.

They are not insignificant changes and should have been mentioned.

You will need to open a new issue. This one has gone stale:

github.com/home-assistant/operating-system

A start job is running for HAOS swap - takes forever after fresh install or a reboot. Can't live like that.

### Describe the issue you are experiencing I've installed a fresh copy after s…ome failure and getting each time the same thing that I've not experienced in the past when playing with HAOS. My setup is Proxmox with 20GB ram, 250gb disk. I set up HAOS with 4cpu, 10 gb ram, 32 gb disk so no issues with limitation here. This happens each time - regardless I use instruction on HA main page to install on VM or script from https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/#home-assistant-os-vm ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b7967498-b90a-44c1-83ac-1aaf2a6db1dd) ### What operating system image do you use? generic-x86-64 (Generic UEFI capable x86-64 systems) ### What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed? can't get there ### Did the problem occur after upgrading the Operating System? No ### Hardware details PROXMOX Virtual Environment 8.2.7 USB - Conbee II added ### Steps to reproduce the issue Seems like this is well known and widely seen with no solutions in the internet. ### Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us? ```txt can't get there... ``` ### Anything in the Host logs that might be useful for us? ```txt can't get there... ``` ### System information can't get there... ### Additional information _No response_

Please add a lot more information than you did in this post. The OS devs are not mind readers.

I understand devs are not mind readers but unless you can point me to log files or something to look for not sure how they can dissect this. This is not a new install. Seems like other people with this issue in past had this on new installs. What do you think is a normal amount of time for this swap file to be proccesed? Less than 2 mins?

I will post in GitHub tomorrow

HA OS 15.2 resolved this issue I experienced. My system reboots as fast as it had been before 15.1. Just passing along if someone had same issue as me.

I’m getting this issue on install?

Briandr73 · April 21, 2025, 6:24pm

@kidjake28 - Wish I could help and I thought I stated this in my initial post, I started seeing this issue with an existing upgrade to HA OS 15.1. Not on a brand new install if I understand you correctly. Also, I am hardly an expert I was just pointing upgrading to 15.2 fixed my issue. Not sure what might be going on an install. If your referring to install and mean upgrade maybe someone could assist you, but I don’t have much to offer. Sorry.
