I just tried this out. And it worked like a charm! I have hibernated and
resumed successfully - first time with Guix System. I'm so happy :)
Would you like to add instructions for swap-files to your
patch-series #59746?
What I did: First, determine offset:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo filefrag -v /swapfile
Filesystem type is: ef53
File size of /swapfile is 1717986918 (4194304 blocks of 4096 bytes)
ext: logical_offset: physical_offset: length: expected: flags:
0: 0.. 0: 5308416.. 5308416: 1:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then, use offset in operating-system declaration:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(kernel-arguments
(cons*
"resume=/dev/mapper/cryptroot"
"resume_offset=5308416"
%default-kernel-arguments))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Caveat: IIUC, this does not work with Btrfs.
