    Accidentally removed encrypted swap partition

    Hi all,

    I think the title says it all: I accidentally removed my encrypted swap partition using gparted (well, not entirely accidentally . I thought it was corrupted and wanted to recreate it, but realized too late that it was actually fine but just looked different because it was encrypted..). Does anyone know what the proper way of recreating it is (Ubuntu 11.10)? (Although I know how to set up a regular swap partition, I can't seem to figure out how to make an encrypted one ) Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

    EDIT: I think I solved it (by recreating the partition, though leaving it 'unformatted'). According to System Monitor swap is now in use again and as far as I could imagine it should also be encrypted again.
