i Have a problem

[brummie]

Have two partitions on one drive that are encrypted

I need to remove one of the partitions as i don't use that one much and need the space for a share.
When i remove it from fstab and reboot i still get asked for the partitions password and i cant log into my computer.
How do i remove it completely? i've searched google but found lots of stuff that didn't work

cfdisk

If your using dmcrypt which I guess you probably are, that will be what's asking for your password (rather than the fstab entry).

Edit /etc/crypttab and remove the partition from there. Once that's done you can physically delete the partition off the disk with fdisk/cfdisk.
