Hi list, I'm kinda new to this so please bear with me if the answers to my issue seem obvious. I followed the instructions for encrypting swap from: http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=EncryptedSwap Here's what works for me on a Slackware 10.2 box running kernel 2.6.17.9 by adding these to /etc/rc.S: #Enable swapping /sbin/cryptsetup.sh -c blowfish -s 56 -d /dev/urandom create swap0 /dev/hda2 mkswap /dev/mapper/swap0 swapon /dev/mapper/swap0 /sbin/swapon -a # cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/hda5 partition 2097136 1564 -1 So it seems to be working fine. Trouble is, when I reboot, I don't see the swap partition and syslog sends a message "Unable to find swap-space signature". I couldn't find anything helpful from Googling that message. The only other instance of swapon in /etc/rc.S is here: # Scan for new volume groups: /sbin/vgscan 2> /dev/null if [ $? = 0 ]; then # This needs a moment to register. sleep 10 # Make volume groups available to the kernel. # This should also make logical volumes available. /sbin/vgchange -ay # Enable swapping again in case any LVs are used for swap. Ignore previous error. :-) /sbin/swapon -a This is my fstab, I have even experimented by changing the mount point of swap from "none" to "swap": # cat /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/swap0 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda1 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 What am I doing wrong or missing to have it stick on reboot? Regards, Avinash
