manipulating luks encrypted partitions...

I am wondering if anything special needs to be done in order to resize or otherwise manipulate encrypted partitions, besides the normal procedure for unencrypted partitions. I installed Arch with an unusually small swap partition that I would like to enlarge.

Re: manipulating luks encrypted partitions...

Should be nothing special. Deactivate swap with

swapoff -a

Or if you will feel safer, boot from cd instead.

Resize the partition.

Recreate swap as you did before (cryptsetup, mkswap, swapon).
