Oh Sh....Swap files are not allowed on btrfs
manpages say:

So I have to generate a swap partition on a micro-SD card. I think to
have read this was discouraged because wear leveling was then
inefficient.
I would put a remark in our hardware section to avoid devices with <1
GB RAM.I will do this after I am sure my issues come from running out
of RAM.
