FR: Adding a feature to create encrypted swap partition

[stevleibelt]

@Kodiman wrote the following issue in the arch-linux-live-cd-iso-with-zfs issue section.

The reason was the missing issue section/feature in here.

Hi, Stev, Your fork of Arch-Config zfs script is excellent. Particularly the improvements you made. Please consider adding a feature to create encrypted swap partition. Your thoughts about this? Much appreciated. Thanks

See this link for information and syntax about swap. Perhaps can copy and paste this into your scripts...

Please note sections 2.1.4, 2.2, 2.3.2, 2.3.3, and 4.2 regarding swap.

At Kodiman,

I don't have any issue with adding features like this. Since I am not using it right now, I can't tell you when I would add this feature.
If you want to, feel free to create a pull request.

If i see it right, the major benefit of having a SWAP partition is to be able to "suspend-to-disk"? I must admit, the sleep mode is good enough for me for years (just to mention, no to judge).

Best regards,
Stev

yes, suspend to disk, hibernate, etc.

[Kodiman]

maybe some experts can help with all this. anyone out there with interest? thanks

[Kodiman]

perhaps can keep this suggestion posted for some others to notice it. your existing scripts could give them a good head start. thanks

You are welcome, based on your wiki entry, it should not be complicated to implement. Let's see if and when I have to to :-).

Else and for everyone, feel free to implement it and send a pull request.
