Bug#792456: debian-installer: partman fails encrypting swap
Package: debian-installer
Version: installer from debian-8.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso
Severity: important
Tags: d-i
While creating an encrypted swap partition in partman, it fails with the kernel
message "Unable to find swap-space signature". Which blocks going further in
the install process.
It seams that after initialisation of the underlaying luks device, partman
forgets to run mkswap on the openened device.
After the error occurs :
# swapon /dev/mapper/md1_crypt
swapon: /dev/mapper/md1_crypt: Invalid argument
# mkswap /dev/mapper/md1_crypt
# swapon /dev/mapper/md1_crypt
#
Workaround is to remove swap partition and activate it when installation is done.
