Thread: Ecryptfs (Swap) question


following guide http://bodhizazen.net/tutorials/ecryptfs/ encrypted swap , went part:

a new entry encrypted swap automatically generated in /etc/fstab , unfortunately of writing ,the old entry not removed , must remove manually (or suffer error messages when boot).


using editor, edit fstab root (gksu gedit /etc/fstab)
old swap starts either uuid=xxx-yyy-zzz or /dev/sdxy, remove line.
new swap identified /dev/mapper/cryptswap , keep line.
that's it, swap encrypted , mount automatically when boot.
the uuid commented out on swap. other uuid ext4.

rebooted , sure enough got error /dev/mapper/cryptswap wasn't ready or such went away before write down , machine finished booting.

rebooted several more times , error never came again.

in syslog i've got
adding <insertsize>k swap on /dev/mapper/cryptswap1
guess it's mounting.

don't think things magically correct though. going on here?

anyone know why mount on 1 reboot , not next, etc?

thanks.
