Hi all,
This has been discussed a few times on #guix, with some having success, but
mostly it seems not. The issue is having a swapfile (maybe also for partition?)
on Btrfs and swap not being activated on boot. In my case, I can manually start
with `sudo herd start swap-/swap/swapfile` and it will work fine. There might
be an issue with when different filesystems are loaded with Btrfs subvolumes? I
have my swap as a file on a subvolume.
>From syslog, just before and after the only "swap" related message:

Checking the status of the service shows:

This is the file-systems and swap part of my system configuration:
(file-systems (append
(list (file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=root,compress=lzo,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/swap")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=swap,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/gnu/store")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=gnu-store,compress=lzo,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/var/log")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=var-log,compress=lzo,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (file-system-label "system"))
(mount-point "/home")
(type "btrfs")
(flags '(no-atime))
(options "subvol=home,compress=lzo,ssd"))
(file-system
(device (uuid "5989-F926" 'fat))
(mount-point "/boot/efi")
(type "vfat")))
%base-file-systems))
(swap-devices (list "/swap/swapfile"))
Hope this is helpful in tracking down what is happening, I know I'm not alone
in this issue.
