Ah, good catch. Our swap check takes the swap device and checks if it's an encrypted loop (using losetup) or dm device (dmsetup). In case of swap-on-LVM-on-crypto, the check only sees swap-on-LVM and so concludes that the setup is unsafe. > [Also it seems that I cannot delete an encrypted partition, even if I > get to free space on it, it still says "In use for ...", is there a way > to do this?

Could you point me to the apprpriate > package for this, I'm not sure it is partman-crypto] Deleting encrypted partitions has not been implemented. The relevant package is partman-crypto. cheers, Max -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
