I believe this is the init scripts trying to set system time from
the hardware clock, which it can't do because a VM doesn't have a
hardware clock. Therefore I think it's harmless.

I believe this is a deliberate choice of the init scripts to not
activate swap that is on swap*files* until after a fsck of the
filesystem that it's on has been done. So again I think this is
harmless/normal.
Further down in the output you would expect to see the swapfile
enabled.

You would expect this after a resize because certain data structures
change...

The only thing out of the ordinary in my opinion is fsck wanting to
restart, and as it went without incident after that, I personally
would not worry.
Cheers,
