Perhaps the startup script could be augmented slightly to allow the swap file & saved configuration to reside on the same fat32 filesystem?

My laptop is primarily windows and it is a lot of trouble to resize / rejig the partitions for a native linux swap or separate filesystems for this purpose.

I think (without looking into the script - yeah, yeah I know, but it's late and I'm tired) that it tries to mount the filesystem again and fails, resulting in the following message:

Filesystem not autodetected, trying to mount /dev/hda5 with AES256 encryption

Perhaps an easy fix is to untar the config first, then do the swap?

hm, no its seems to be an design issue ... Already mounted partitions should be supported, but it was forgotten the second time ...

I've already sent a bug report to Klaus.
