I believe i have my swap set up but am not sure because on start up it says that it is something along the lines of "could not mount /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 M for manual S for skip". But it appears to be mounted? I have already tried this solution with no success.

When i run free -m the output is:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          3887        769       3117          0         54        348
-/+ buffers/cache:        366       3520
Swap:         4026          0       4026

and sudo bklid is:

/dev/sda1: UUID="9fb3ccd6-3732-4989-bfa4-e943a09f1153" TYPE="ext4" 
/dev/mapper/cryptswap1: UUID="bd9fe154-8621-48b3-95d2-ae5c91f373fd" TYPE="swap"

and cat /etc/crypttab is:

cryptswap1 /dev/sda5 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256

my /etc/fstab is:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

#                
proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0

sw              0       0
/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0

cat /proc/swaps output is:

Filename             Type        Size    Used    Priority
/dev/dm-0                               partition   4123644 0   -1

Is my swap not setup correctly or how can i fix my boot message?
