New to these forums. The machine is a test machine to use with HEAVY 3D
graphics and animations. Testing Unity and OS for stability. I think
these errors may be coming from the Ubuntu install program and happens
when you attempt to override installer defaults. The system has 2
physical hard drives. I made several install attempts trying to learn
the partition utility as part of install. I think that BOTH drives were
set up while experimenting and the confusion may come about a a result
of system crashes or hard resets? IDK, I'm fishing here. During
installation as a first time Ubuntu user I was surprised that the
install doesn't let you create mounts for the file systems you define on
a second drive? The install didn't recognize the encrypted /home
partition on the larger second drive, complained and home was mounted on
the first smaller drive. I accepted this knowing it can be changed
later. So, the swap is encrypted. I wonder how many users are reporting
on similar issues with encrypted swap or don't know they have any. My
very large 1T encrypted /home partition is not mounted at all. I just
decided to let this ride in order to try the rest of the system at the
time.  I know brevity is appreciated, but this one might have to be long
to get started. No fear here, as this is an empty machine at this point.
However, there are many other issues on this machine as well. Attached
is a long file showing disks, etc because I don't think this issue has
been solved at the root problem, and is not showing many users affected
simply because they are taking the default installation without knowing
that it is happening. I think the priority on this issue should be
raised since it is a core function in a long term release, but I might
be wrong ;-)

Title:
  Mountall doesn't swapon with 'ignore'-d swap in fstab

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  I use Maverick.

  If there are more entrys in fstab with 'none' as mountpoint they
  overwrite each other in mountall internal list unless the fstype is
  swap. I had 2 swap partitions, one for ubuntu and one for arch, and
  changed the latter type to 'ignore' but that overwrote the swap in
  mountall as mentioned before, and it was not mounted.

  fstab and patch to make new list item also with ignore types attached.
