Comment 40 for bug 1464917

The issue came back for me a few shutdowns after I purged old kernel images as explained above.

I was gonna wait until I've had more time before calling it successful at least for me as a work around but I tried Adam's idea too and so far it is working. When you 'sudo swapoff -a' it takes time on my machine for the system to do the switch. I hear the cpu fan run higher and the terminal screen is delayed in giving me the prompt back while the command is processed. I'm sure totally normal behavior. Then I shut down as usual and there is no delay at all, I see the message for a second maybe and then my machine is off.

I first played around with the swappiness=0 but that made my machine hang for normal operations so I set it to 50 and then tried Adam's idea just before shutdown. I think a nice script would be cool to make until this issue is fixed officially.
