Strange \040(deleted) in /proc/swaps
 
After booting my Slackware 14 I get
Code:
# cat /proc/swaps
Filename                                Type                Size        Used        Priority
/dev/mapper/cryptswap\040(deleted)    partition                10483708 0        -1
What does '\040(deleted)' mean?
I use encrypted swap with keyfile, I have no problems with suspend-to-disk, so my swap is ok?
Also 'free' shows I have active swap.

The character \040 is the octal code for an ASCII space character. My guess is the name of your DM is either "/dev/mapper/cryptswap " or "/dev/mapper/cryptswap (deleted)" depending on what bizarre command was used to create it (or delete it). Try doing:

Code:
ls -l /dev/mapper/

Code:
ls -l /dev/mapper/
dosen't show any extra spaces

Code:
total 0
crw------- 1 root root 10, 236 02-12 16:59 control
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7 02-12 17:00 cryptswap -> ../dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7 02-12 17:00 crypthome -> ../dm-1
I have space-separated fstab, but does it read space as a part of name? It would be weird.
