Not sure of /etc/crypttab entry on Ubuntu 18.04












1















I have been following the following guides:
http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~anqixu/blog/index.php/2018/06/20/install-18-04-on-encrypted-partitions-xps15-cuda/
How can I install Ubuntu encrypted with LUKS with dual-boot?



I have created a 4G Swap Partition on the encrypted LVM partition as per the latter link however not sure of the entry to use in /etc/crypttab file.



If I run:



blkid | grep swap

/dev/mapper/vgroot-lvswap: UUID="12345678987654321" TYPE=swap


Does the entry need to be



vgroot-lvswap UID=12345678987654321 /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

          Your format is valid for entry in the /etc/crypttab but update your UID to UUID



          vgroot-lvswap  UUID="12345678987654321" /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64


          And also make sure the name vgroot-lvswap is the name you used when you ran sudo cryptsetup luksOpen .... name_of_device_mapper!
