[RESOLVED] I think I set up my encrypted swap file incorrectly

[lcharles]

In crypttab I have:

cryptswap2 /dev/sdb6 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256

In fstab I have:

/dev/mapper/cryptswap2 none swap sw 0 0

When I boot into Kubuntu gparted shows sdb6 as an unknown type of partition, so it must not mount at boot. What did I do wrong?

I think that should be right ..........what dose the free command show in a terminal .

if it's showing something for swap you should be good .........gparted I believe will say unknown type of partition (it's encrypted)

Re: I think I set up my encrypted swap file incorrectly

After trying what you suggested I think you're right. The command 'free' gives:

Swap: 1739772 0 1739772

And when I try blkid, I get an entry for swap. Thinks for your input. I must admit though I had a hard time following the discussion in the link you provided but I think the point was that the way I have the entries setup appears to be correct.
