Long time (!) for root volume swap script to finish

Hi,

I’ve successfully created a spot instance that persists. However, it’s a bit “fragile”! Twice I’ve waited for 20 minutes before giving up because of a lack of root volume swap, even though the script says:

“Please allow the root volume swap script a few minutes to finish.”

Has anyone had a similar experience? Is there anyway to speed up the swap?
