      There might be multiple ways to implement this.

      Also we should discuss a possibility if this is even worth the implementation or we will rather take this as the "advanced solution" so users can do that manually.

       

      Note from mkolman@redhat.com :

      I suggest to start with a brief research task, as the situation is quite different to when we still supported swap regularly & when we dropped auto-creating it.

      • does it strictly need a swap partition ? can't modern BTRFS (Workstation) or XFS+LVM perhaps support a swap file without a separate partition ?
      • what about the size ?
        • IIRC the swap data can be compressed, so maybe the partition if necessary, could be smaller than RAM size ?
        • can we make sure the partition is only used for hibernation and not for swapping ? that could avoid cases where there is not enough space to hibernate due to the swap being used for... swapping
