--- Begin Message ---Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:1.0.3-3 Severity: normal Contrary to the instructions given in /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/CryptoSwap.HowTo it is not possible to activate the encryption for an existing swap partition. The init script detects a valid swap signature on the original partition (not encrypted) and refuses to overwrite it with the encrypted swap. So the instructions given in CryptoSwap.HowTo are incorrect. I have been using an encrypted swap partition on my "testing" systems since a while. I am glad that bugs #371135, #371160 and #377434 have been fixed so that encrypted swap partitions with random keys are working again. However, some of my systems dual-boot with other Linux configurations in which the same partition is used as a standard swap (no encryption). Switching between these configurations prevents the encrypted swap from working as it did before, because the valid swap signature created by the other configurations prevents the encrypted device from working. Proposed solutions: 1) Allow the creation of the encrypted swap partition even if a valid swap signature exists on the target partition. Destroying a valid swap partition is much less dangerous than destroying another filesystem. The only concern might be for people using suspend on swap and doing something stupid in their crypttab configuration, but this is a minor issue. 2) If the first solution is not possible or not desirable for whatever reasons, at least update CryptoSwap.HowTo and suggest destroying the swap partition by hand before using it in crypttab, or disabling the test (check=/bin/true) as had been suggested in another bug report. For example, CryptSetup.HowTo could say: Before starting your crypted device, erase its contents with: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda9 bs=1024 count=<whatever> It is a bit strange to suggest to destroy things by hand just because an overzealous test in the init script tries hard to prevent people from making mistakes. But if the other solution is rejected, then at least this would fix the documentation. -Raphaël
