[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#524168: cryptsetup: Swap on dm-crypt on top of software RAID results in a sw RAID resync on every boot.

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-7
Severity: normal

Using the documented method for a "throw-away" encrypted swap partition,
results in a software RAID resync on every reboot.

I assume that the swap partition is not being correctly stopped during
shutdown i.e. this isn't happening:

1. swapoff

2. stop or read-only the underlying crypt device

3. stop or read-only the underlying md device

Thanks,

Tim.
