Hello, i suggest temporary solution to use swap file under btrfs. I test it, and it work good.
I invent simple the way, how create and using swap file, just see following sh code: swapfile=$(losetup -f) #free loop device truncate -s 8G /swap #create 8G sparse swap file losetup $swapfile /swap #mount file to loop mkswap $swapfile swapon $swapfile i just adding this to rc.local and this work good. May be, add it to btrfs Wiki as temporary solution to using swap file?
