 Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2018 8:39 pm Post subject: [solved] Encrypted swap not mount |
 |
|
The Encrypted swap is located on:
| Code: | | /dev/mapper/vg0-lvol2 |
Systemd : Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\
Dependency failed for/dev/disk/by-uuid2969..
Dependency failed for swap.
So swap does not mount.
I delete the swap partition. Then recreate the encrypted swap partition.
Sudo mkswap /dev/mapper/vg0-lvol2
Sudo swapon /dev/mapper/vg0-lvol2
Does the swap partition need certain kernel module?
The root device mount is ok. The root device is encrypted with the same kernel module as the encrypted swap device. So guess that is o.k.
The time out for swap on booting is causing 1.30sec delay.
Do I need that 2gb swap space that does not mount on booting?
Will i be alright with 16gb ram and no swap partition?
Does anyone know how to make the encrypted swap partition boot?
Edit maybe i need udev? I can't compile the initramfs with genkernel with the --udev flag on gentoo-sources -4.17.1
| Code: | genkernel --install --lvm -luks --udev initramfs
Error : unknown option '--udev'! |
Profile default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/plasma/systemd (exp)
Maybe i need /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt
Any help is welcome

It depends on what you are doing. Since you ask the question, you can probably get away without. I usually allocate some swap even though my machine with 32G rarely if ever needs it.
Once upon a time, 'emerge --empty @world' would run into something that would fail without swap.
You can see I went overboard because I have plenty of storage, but it's never been used after an uptime of 7 days, and I even ran a lengthy emerge yesterday:
| Code: | $ free -t
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 32973412 2983656 18912464 148432 11077292 29374616
Swap: 134217724 0 134217724
Total: 167191136 2983656 153130188

The archlinux wiki has a decent page about encrypted swap.

on Boot up I have to wait 1.30sec at:
| Code: |
Ok started flush journal to persistent storage
*** A start job is running for dev-disk |
Looks like "something" is failing/starting on decryption and mounting of the encrypted swap device, strange
The root partition is unlocked at boot successful, so why not the swap partition?
Journalctl shows the encrypted swap device is loaded inactive dead start /dev/disk/by-uuid/
Udev is running.
Maybe whatever the swap partition loads might be pointing to wrong source? I should check the uuid of the encrypted swap. |

Ok so
Start the lvm daemon:
| Code: | | root #systemctl enable lvm2-monitor.service |
Then look at uuid of the encrypted swap partition, with command blkid
And edit fstab:
| Code: | | UUID=<uuid of swap> none ext2 defaults,noatime 0 2 |
So i think swap mount as ext2.. is that bad? The 1.30second boot is gone. |

Not ext2, it should say "swap" there. Also, noatime probably does not make an effect, just say "sw" for options, for example: | Code: | | UUID=cb433d42-bade-4a1b-443b-c8331c564ad9a none swap sw 0 0 |

It seems that with:
| Code: | | UUID=cb433d42-bade-4a1b-443b-c8331c564ad9a none swap sw 0 0 |
I get the swap partition start job described in above post.
When changing to ext4 in /etc/fstab I have no start job on boot.
| Code: | | UUID=cb433d42-bade-4a1b-443b-c8331c564ad9a none ext4 sw 0 0 |
So not solved yet  |

Eh? It was pointed out above that swap is not a file-system. So just set it back to "swap" and it's sorted, afaict. |

Hello steveL,
When setting to "swap" in fstab, i get 1.30seconds start job delay at boot.
On the Arch Wiki i noticed that fstab swap line is not entirely needed *edit* for systemd, because systemd will mount the swap device automatically.
After removing the swap line in fstab, the start job with 1.30 seconds delay is gone, however the swap is never active.
I made a simple systemd service that does "swapon /dev/mapper/encryptedswap" and now the swap is active without swap line in fstab, so i will mark thread solved. |

| I would recommend just commenting the line out versus incorrectly listing the type as a filesystem. |
