This is not a correct fix, however, as it introduces a race condition since
the UUID will be visible over udev before the path has settled.  So you can
get boot failures with this caused by the device appearing, and then moving
to a different name before mountall has a chance to act.

Title:
  could not mount /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 M for manual S for skip

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I get the message in the bug summary during the boot process. The boot
  takes quite a long time and also, the Resources tab in the Gnome
  System Monitor reports the swap is not available.

  I am on 12.04, and during installation, I selected the "encrypted
  home" option. Though it is a fresh install, I left my /home partition
  intact, and it dates back to ... I don't even know, maybe 10.04? At
  first I installed Kubuntu, but since then I have changed to Unity and
  I have uninstalled the Kubuntu desktop.

  I am aware of bug #874774, but I felt the need to open a new bug
  report, since even though the fix has supposedly already been released
  for that one, I still experience this problem.
