Hi
I specified a swapfile in my config without creating it on disk manually.
(swap-devices '("/swapfile"))
Then I predictably got this error:
guix system: error: exception caught while executing 'start' on service
'swap-/swapfile':
In procedure swapon: "/swapfile": No such file or directory
I think we should let guix do all the dirty work of generating the
swapfile so we can do something like:
(swap-file
(file "/swapfile"))
(size "1G"))
And then guix will invoke the relevant file tools to create and enable
the swap file.
We could add a check to see if the file exist and if yes try to use it
as is.
