I thank you for doing this! Long ago and far away I did report a problem with SWAPGEN. I took this up with IBM, since they were providing our Linux (Red Hat) support and since they used SWAPGEN in their RedBook. Eventually, IBM determined that the problem was not in SWAPGEN but in systemd. They

I don’t see how specifying the size should make a difference, apart from the last odd blocks when an arbitrary size does not make a full number of cylinders. If you’re talking VDISK then it seems irrelevant since there’s just a doze blocks to be written at any size. With 3390 we can’t really avoid
