[Bug 709363] Re: swap partition disappeared during installation

[Jarno Suni]

I think this happened in Oneiric installation. However, it looks like
Oneiric can uses swap anyway; command free shows it. I chose encrypted
/home in installation and I guess that is why I have
"/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0" in /etc/fstab i.e. swap is
encrypted, too. Still I have used the swap partition other
installations, and for them swap is gone and the partition is
unrecognized. I wonder, if it is safe to format the partition as linux-
swap.

  swap partition disappeared during installation

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  I noticed that I had no swap mounted, looked in /etc/fstab and see a
  swap partition but it isn't usable because the partition has no UUID.
  Reading /var/log/installer/syslog the partition was used at one point
  in time but then stopped being used.
