IF it is LUKS and not plain crypto  - "blkid -u crypto -p /dev/sda8" prints LUKS?

If so, that's probably old bug - both signarures are present (cryptsetup did not wipe part of signature)

read http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#3._Common_Problems
"blkid" sees a LUKS UUID and an ext2/swap UUID on the same device. What is wrong?"
