If you remove/comment lines from /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab, encrypted swap will not created on the next boot. Rory Alsop 2011-04-12T11:45:34+08:002011-04-12T11:45:34+08:00 If you used cryptsetup to create your encrypted swap, you can easily reverse the process: Currently your /dev/hda? will be mapped to cryptswap (something like cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/hda4 cryptswap) so first disable the line in /etc/crypttab that mentions cryptswap and remove the cryptswap line from /etc/fstab Then use cryptsetup to remove the crypt mapping. At this point you can remove the swap partition and recreate it as an ordinary partition Best Answer dmoebius 2012-08-20T15:10:22+08:002012-08-20T15:10:22+08:00 I followed this explanation (currently down, see its google cache), and it worked without any problems.
