The reason for the submitter's mirror request was to get this recommendation a bit more formally documented. From an earlier comment in this bug: (In reply to comment #4) > We had already discussed about the same and we wanted to have the Ubuntu > Release documents correctly mentioning the same about creating swap > partitions. > > So, I had opened this bug since Ubuntu has claimed as below: > ===================================================== > Starting from 17.04 Zesty Zapus release, instead of creating swap > partitions, swapfiles will be used by default for non-lvm based > installations. > > Secondly, the sizing of swapfiles is very different. It is no more than 5% > of free disk space or 2GiB, whichever is lower. > > Ref link: http://blog.surgut.co.uk/ > > So, wanted to make sure that Ubuntu updates in its Release notes that > swapfiles will not be used in case of BTRFS by default.
