Comment 6 for bug 474258

Hi there

You mentioned, this bug was assigned to the wrong package. Is there a way to reassign the bug or should one of us open a new bug?

I agree, that this is a very serious bug. /etc/crypttab should use UUID's in order to be shure and programs using it schould at least check the partition type.

In my case, i installed Ubuntu 11.04 for test purposes in a multi-boot environment on a second hard drive. it silently used the old swap partition on the first drive as an encrypted swap partition for this test installation - i never added the device manually to /etc/crypttab. After deleting one - completely unrelated partition !! - a third partition was damaged after the next reboot from this test installation (days afterwards). And i am even a rather experienced user. Not to think about "ordinary" user...
