From the BTRFS manual:

"Nodatacow implies nodatasum, and disables compression."

"Datasum implies datacow"

Based on these notes I'd assume that since swapfile disables COW that it also disables checksumming which is where the risk of fragmentation occurs

I could be wrong tho

much appreciated +1,
fixed the PR

Make a subvolume only for the swapfile.

doesn't this kinda defeat the purpose/benefits of using a swapfile?

This is true for all files. Is it a bigger problem for swap?

specificly swapfiles yes, for swap partitions nope

How long ago did you have these issues?

Dec 2022, was still using and testing with swapfiles then and said fuck it as it caused too much problems.

I can't rule out user error till I retest and strictly "follow the guide to the T" as I made modifications while following the same Arch guide for swapfile with BTRFS

edit:
also for clarification, I'm still not sure which one is optimal/best as I initially thought that using swapfile was forward thinking for the future, I'm using and recommending swap partitions as it seems to be the easiest to implement once and use continuously without any problems atm.

RFC, pull request to add git.

Reasoning: Having a built-in versioning system would allow humans to rollback roll back undesirable changes and advancements could be made more easily

please comment or downvote if this is a bad idea

my method for running Android apps on my distro is to run an Android 9.0-r2 VM on QEMU/KVM via virt-manager

maybe this might work for you?

here's a guide I found for setting up Virt-manager on Ubuntu

and here's a vid for setting up Android x86 on Virt-manager

• not sure if this is the exact same vid I used but it should suffice

hope this works/fits your use case!

As swap is recommended just in case all RAM is maxed it's better to have a swap partition as swap files have certain limitations when in combined use with BTRFS:

• "subvolume - cannot be snapshotted if it contains any active swapfiles"
• has a chance to fragment
• has issues with hibernation (that I've personally encountered multiple times)

here's the link for more info: https://man.archlinux.org/man/btrfs.5#SWAPFILE_SUPPORT

after switching to a swap partition with BTRFS I've experienced no issues for a user configuration

It's the equivalent of stealing Daisy, Doom guy's rabbit, you just don't

hmm...

I can only offer a dragon's vegan tonic with 2 Karmotrine or a pearl of shapeshifting water

if you aren't satisfied with our current selection please come back in 2 cycles, I'll make sure my successor will be able to better serve you with an expanded menu

Logseq could be another option although I'm unsure about syncing, syncing might be possible via NextCloud/syncthing

Ubuntu, felt like I was being treated like a child with the lack of user customizability

then I chose to jump directly into Arch Linux🙃 and saw despair from analysis paralysis, somehow I learned Arch in just a month tho🤷‍♀️

thank you for the correction and merry fucking Christmas to you too!🎄😆

for myself I try not to cuss out other people but if I see someome doing something eggregious egregious or I do something stupid then I'll swear at them or myself

otherwise I try not to swear too much
ymmv

hope everyone has a fucking fantastic holiday tho!🤗

shortsighted forethought yes as commiting actual mass murders is one of the dumbest things that a person could ever do

Fuck yeah Konsi!😁

NOICE👌

Prepare for trouble!

why repost the same article with the exact same title?

nah

I just made a dumb mistake and you had a good point that's all there is

I ain't gonna double down on stupid mistakes

done
