Hello,

I performed what you just suggested :

Tried to remove the two swaps : OK none remaining
Tried to reload the fstab : OK got priorities 0 and 1
Performed "halt -p" : OK computer dead like a stone
Power on...
Check swapctl : two swaps present with both priority at 0.

There's something i do not master within the boot process.

Note : this host has been freshly reinstalled with wiped out SSD.

Eric.
