Swap space not enabled at boot in F16
 

For some reason my swap device is not being enabled (swapon) at boot.
It seems that the new systemd swap.target is not doing its thing as I
would expect.

After booting, I can manually run "systemctl start swap.target" and it
works, with my device then showing up in /proc/swaps.

My swap device is a LUKS-encrypted LVM logical volume, and I don't see
anything wrong with any of its setup or configuration. Nor has
anything changed that I know of since F15.

Since swap.target is a built-in special systemd unit, is there
anything I need to do to make it work at boot?

I've now confirmed this only happens with LUKS-encrypted swap devices.

I created a second logical volume that was formatted for swap, and
immediately after boot that device was in /proc/swaps, but the LUKS
one was not.

Doing a "systemctl start swap.target" after the boot completed did add
the other one.

I am beginning to believe this may be a systemd bug. Perhaps the
ordering of the systemd units is somehow wrong, in that the
swap.target unit is invoked before all the LUKS-encrypted volumes are
opened (unencrypted)?


Can anybody else confirm this behavior? Note that I have individual
LVM logical volumes encrypted with LUKS, not the entire disk or entire
volume group. Also my root (/) filesystem is not encrypted, if that
matters.
