So, why not using swapfile without swap partition at all.
Have it on a big partition with lots of space. If there's a
problem with the space, I can easily move the swap elsewhere.
A swapfile is so much more flexible.

Is there a downside of not using swap partition, and have only
swapfile instead?


What about saving kernel crashdumps? :)

Saving what? I add swap to my system just for having more virtual RAM during regular operation of the OS.

I don't have, and I'm not interested in kernel crashes.
In that case, is there no difference between the use of
swap partition and swapfile?
