   I setup encrypted swap using essentially this line in /etc/crypttab
   cswap /dev/sdaXX /dev/urandom swap

   with fstab 
   /dev/mapper/cswap none swap defaults 0 0 

   It works fine except I notice when it boots I get a message like this:

    Red Hat nash version 6.0.9 starting
    Unable to access resume device (/dev/mapper/cswap)
 
    Then boot proceeds and machine comes up ok.
    # swapon -s

    Filename                  Type          Size          Used Priority
    /dev/mapper/cswap  partition    2096440  0        -1

    So it seems to work anyway.

    Is this mkinitrd needing updating as in :
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124789

    If so - can we get this into F7 ?

thank you
