** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: mountall
  
  I am using Ubuntu 9.10 with the latest packages applied (apt-get uprade)
  Version of mountall: 1.0
  Expected results: /dev/mapper/tmp should be mounted on /tmp
  Unexpected results: /dev/mapper/tmp is not mounted on /tmp
  
  In my /etc/crypttab I have:
  tmp   /dev/sda2   /dev/urandom   tmp
  swap /dev/sda3   /dev/urandom   swap
  
  In my /etc/fstab I have (among other lines), this:
  /dev/mapper/tmp  /tmp   ext2   relatime    0    2
  
  Most of the time the system boots OK, but /tmp never gets mounted.
  This appears to be an issue with mountall because if I run mountall from the 
command line, then /tmp does get mounted.
  When the /dev/mapper/tmp device is created (part of the cryptsetup process), 
the mkfs -t ext2 command is run on /dev/mapper/tmp. It appears mountall is not 
waiting for this to complete. Should there be a timeout for a dynamically 
created tmp to be available before it is mounted?
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. select a spare partition on your disk, referred to below as /dev/sdf12
+ 2. install the cryptsetup package from karmic.
+ 3. configure it for use with cryptsetup as a device with a random key by 
adding this line to /etc/crypttab:
+     /dev/mapper/cryptswap /dev/sdf12 /dev/urandom swap
+ 4. configure the swap partition to be auto-enabled by adding this line to 
/etc/fstab:
+     /dev/mapper/cryptswap       none            swap    sw              0     
  0
+ 5. reboot
+ 6. verify that the swap partition is not successfully enabled (either by 
confirming that the system fails to boot fully, or by checking the output of 
'swapon -s')
+ 7. if necessary to boot the system, reboot to single-user mode, mount 
-orw,remount /, and comment out the cryptswap line from /etc/fstab
+ 8. upgrade to the karmic-proposed version of cryptsetup
+ 9. re-enable the cryptswap line in /etc/fstab
+ 10. reboot
+ 11. verify that the swap partition has been successfully enabled, by checking 
the output of 'swapon -s'
