Description Dag 2011-06-02 20:25:13 UTC

Description of problem:
I set up an encrypted swap partition 1 year ago (Fedora 13) in crypttab and upgraded to Fedora 14 without problem.
However I upgraded yesterday to Fedora 15 and my encrypted swap setup ceased functionning.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel 2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up an encrypted swap partition in crypttab :
swap /dev/sdaX /dev/urandom swap
2. set up fstab accordingly
/dev/mapper/swap swap swap defaults 0 0
3. reboot
4. the boot process is waiting for swap to be ready (1 or 2 minutes!), then fails :
Starting swap aborted because a dependency failed.

  
Actual results:
There is no swap on my system at boot.

Expected results:
Swap partition should be available as a regular swap-formatted device on /dev/mapper/swap.

Additional info:
I tried to check where the problem was :
dmsetup info swap
It says that swap device is correctly configured.
swapon /dev/mapper/swap
says that it can't use thi as swap.
I entered this :
mkswap /dev/mapper/swap
swapon /dev/mapper/swap
OK : my system has now encrypted swap.

So it seems that the device was not recognised as swap at boottime, but after formatting it, it's OK.

I have a tmp device that is configured like the swap device, but this one is working OK.

Seems a duplicate of 710839 to me.  It 'hangs' 60 seconds per swap device.

hi all,

Yes, I checked for bug 710839 : it is exactly what I encountered in this present bug (710259).

So I suppose I can mark this bug (710259) as a duplicate of bug 710839.

Bye for now
