[Bug 1097890] Re: encrypted swap reused from previous install when wiping and reinstalling

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

By default in partman we do specify to reuse the swap partition if one exists on the system already.
The fact that server cd != desktop cd case is a little surprising to me, unless there are further ubiquity specific delta there.

Title:
  encrypted swap reused from previous install when wiping and
  reinstalling

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I've been able to reproduce this easily on both amd64 and panda, so it
  does not appear to depend on arch.

  1. install raring with lvm+crypt selected
  2. once that install is complete, reinstall using the same drive/system, this time select to have it "Erase Ubuntu and reinstall"
  3. once the install is complete, reboot to the newly installed system and run 'cat /proc/swaps'

  It would be expected to see /dev/sda? here due to automatic creation
  of a swap partition at install time.  However after installing with
  lvm+crypt, it seems to reuse the old encrypted volume from the
  previous install (/dev/dm-0).
