why do you see any problems? it does nothing else than checking for a known filesystem before destroying any data on the source device. you will never have a valid filesystem on a device that last has been used as encrypted swap. > But if having a default is generally deemed desirable then there must be > a checks=none capability or nochecks option. that is true, at least for swap partitions. current implementation always checks swap partitions. i will try to summarize the changes that should be implemented in the next version: - add a checks=none option for swap - check for valid fs on src device for plain dm-crypt swap per default - check for LUKS device before any luksOpen, regardless if swap or not - don't run other checks per default, but provide as many optional as reasonable please correct me if i forgot something. ... jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
