[Bug 316607] [NEW] Encrypted SWAP partition not created/mounted

[Ulrich Lukas]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

Hi,


after updating to Jaunty Alpha, the setup of cryptographic swap on boot fails with the following message:

"* SWAP: the check for '/dev/mapper/SWAP' failed. /dev/mapper/SWAP
contains data:  - The device /dev/mapper/SWAP contains a valid
filesystem type unknown or non-unique volume type (--probe-all lists
possibly conflicting types)."

The same message appears when invoking as root: "/etc/init.d/cryptdisks
start".

"ls /dev/mapper" shows that indeed the "SWAP" target isn't created.


This is very similar to the old, already resolved Debian-bug #385317:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=385317

Manually creating a cryptographic "swap" target without using
/etc/crypttab and its "swap" option works.


This is a regression.

My setup:
Kubuntu Jaunty AMD64, custom Linux 2.6.28, cryptsetup version 2:1.0.6-7ubuntu1

I'd gladly help with further debugging; please feel free to ask.
