did you configure software raid for the swap partition? can you describe your setup? please paste /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab. if you do have software raid on top of encrypted partitions, then it's an intended feature that the partition is synced every reboot. after all the random key changes with every reboot, and a new swapfs is created on top of the unlocked every time. thus the sync cannot be avoided. greetings, jonas
