Hidden UUID?



Hi folks,

maybe you can help. I am running into a strange problem.

It is the following:

My swap partition is a logical partition on an extended partition.
This swap was formerly luks encrypted and got an UUID beginning with 
UUID=30e885.....

Then I deciced, to format the swap partitition and use it as a normal swap 
partition. So I erased all keys (using cryptsetup erase /dev/sda5) and then 
reformatted it with swapon.

Additionally I removed the entry from /etc/crypttab and edited /etc/fstab.

So far, everything worked fine, except next boot. 

When booting, cryptsetup wants to open my other encrypted partitions and then 
it is hanging, saying "searching for encrypted device UUID=30e885....".

I looked everywhere, but I found no entry, where the system gets this UUID.

Of course my swap partition now got another UUID, but why is cryptsetup still 
knowing of the old UUID? What did I miss?

Thanks for any hints.

Best regards

Hans
