Hmmm..  And you had just run fsck before mounting and doing the copy?
I think that's not a good sign--perhaps some left-over problem that
fsck didn't find, but that message itself seems to be benign.

Hmmm...  Did you mount the fs read-only?  If not, it might be trying to
just 'sync'.

Yes and no.  GENERIC swap means 'look for swap on the same disk as
root'.  I'd prefer that it meant 'allow swap from anywhere'--but it
doesn't.  I think we should be able to add or remove any device to
the list of devices for swap.  As it is now, you'll have to add it
by hand to a kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel.
