Hi,
I have just recently installed Debian squeeze with a root filesystem
on btrfs [1].  I have noticed however that I cannot set up a swap file
stored on the btrfs volume:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap bs=16M count=4
mkswap /var/swap
chmod 0 /var/swap
swapon /var/swap

[ 01751.879759] swapon: swapfile has holes
swapon: /var/swap: swapon failed: Invalid argument

For now I've set up a swap file under /boot (ext4), but is swap on
btrfs expected to work?  I'm using the stock Debian linux kernel
2.6.32-5-amd64.
