Swap is a file which makes everything easy without having to care about another partition and is automatically encrypted since it stays on root. Partition formats is always ext4 since there's no need for anything else. Tried btrfs in the past and it had problems, more than it solved, and xfs years ago regularly had problems corrupting files when power went off. I swore on never using any of those 2 again. permalink fedilink source parent
