I've noticed something and I guess that both my problems - swap problem and systemd hanging while booting - are closely related.
Why? The system does not hang at boot, when I choose the recovery mode from grub, and in the recovery mode select "network" to enable networking. Important: before activating the network, the console asks me to enter the password for sda2_crypt (swap). System then can boot up the regular way. So it seems to be something in the systemd service order. The recovery menu's network option does something, the normal boot sequence doesn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506139 Title: 15.10beta crashes encrypted swap partition Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, I'm usually using a setup with three partitions on a disk Partition 1: plain ext4 boot partition mounted on /boot Partition 2: luks-encrypted swap Partition 3: luks-encrypted btrfs for / /home ... both mentioned in /etc/crypttab like sda2_crypt UUID=a7976d5c-6191-436d-9cf9-2cedf17d0893 none luks,swap,discard sda3_crypt UUID=339b9a90-8292-422d-a3cf-eeb0317e9f84 none luks,discard With several machines I have installed 15.10 beta on and in several cases I experienced the problem that the swap is not activated at boot time and that /dev/disks/by-uuid does not contain a link to the swap partition, and the previously created luks-encrypted swap is destroyed after boot: It is not a luks partition anymore and filled with random (presumably encrypted) bytes without structure. I first thought that this is a problem of the setup process, and repaired the swap manually. But then I found the partition destroyed again. This happend several times on several machines. I am not sure yet what exactly would destroy the partition.
