Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-7
Severity: normal
Using the documented method for a "throw-away" encrypted swap partition,
results in a software RAID resync on every reboot.
I assume that the swap partition is not being correctly stopped during
shutdown i.e. this isn't happening:
1. swapoff
2. stop or read-only the underlying crypt device
3. stop or read-only the underlying md device
Thanks,
Tim.

Closing this bugreport as you didn't reply to my questions within the
last four mounths, and I'm unable to reproduce the bug.
Feel free to reopen if it still applies, but please give detailed
information about your setup in that case.
